I would first suggest creating a simple implementation of a single collage type. For example, on the page I linked to in the ticket ( http://www.computorcompanion.com/LPMArticle.asp?ID=227) they have some fancy collages and a lot of options. The picture grid or contact sheet are much simpler. It would probably be best to start there. The Yorba philosophy is incremental improvements rather than large changes all dumped into trunk at once. Hence, we'd prefer to see something small and simple than all the features implemented in a single patch. > Could be there is plugin functionality in the works.

Until we've got our bearings on this, let's have this first pass at the feature be hardcoded in. -- Jim _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
