Picasaweb have a nice solution where you can drag and drop a thumbnail onto a map. This is where Shotwell could be nicely integrated with Google Maps. In my case I do a lot of mountain hiking and would use this facility to record the position of features like caves. But I recognise this kind of enhancement is far from trivial. Peter Why using Google Maps? We can use OpenStreetMap. It's a better choice. For this, it exist a good GTK+ widget: LibChamplain - http://projects.gnome.org/libchamplain/ But I think it's a very good idea to add a map to Shotweel (with libChamplain) with a possibility to drag-and-drop pictures directly on the map and an automatic address resolution from geo-location data with GeoClue (http://live.gnome.org/GeoClue). Many smartphones have a camera and a GPS, therefore it's a necessary features. _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
