Sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find the > mailing list search? Here at Yorba we also wanted a Vala IDE, so we wrote Valencia, a plugin that turns gedit into an IDE for Vala. This is what we use for our own Shotwell development. Check it out: http://yorba.org/valencia/ Unfortunately our mailing lists are not yet searchable - we hope to fix this at some point (see http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2181 ). As a workaround, you can search all the lists at once using Google by including the term 'site:lists.yorba.org'. > I got to the point where it works at a basic level for my big Flickr > uploads but any feedback on best practice for how the custom-size > feature should be implemented would be great.

I might suggest having two text boxes (one for width, one for height) that are normally hidden, but appear when the user chooses the custom size option in the dropdown. This would work just like Shotwell's crop tool, which also offers a predefined list of dimensions but lets you enter custom dimensions as well. cheers adam _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
