Hi, I like what I'm seeing with Shotwell so far. Here's some feedback on 0.7.x if the following items weren't pointed out already:
First and foremost, I think there definitely should be a way to "delete" events, or assign photos to "no event". Importing a folder of ~1000 "miscellaneous" photos collected over a year creates about 30-50 events, which is a bit ridiculous; it defeats the purpose of events matching actual events and not "days", so I'd really like a way to unassign photos from events to get a better bird-eye's view of the "important" pictures among the mess. * In other words, there are some rare times where I indeed photograph "events" (more than 20 pictures in a day; a wedding or party for example), but most of the time it's a few random shots scattered around the week. * Multiply that by 10 years, and it's too tedious to use Shotwell rather than simply using folders in Nautilus. This is the main reason currently holding me back from using Shotwell over my photo collection (~19 000 photos). Secondly, the rotation doesn't seem to save the rotation info inside the images themselves afaict, because viewing them with nautilus or eye-of-gnome afterwards, they are still in their original orientation. Third, if you merge events that span multiple months, they will incorrectly be classified as belonging to one month in particular. I'm not sure how to handle this, but I guess I wanted to report this problem nonetheless. Fourth, there should probably be a "go back" button and shortcut keys (ex: backspace/alt+left/escape) to go back to the previous view (go back from a photo to its event, from the event to the month, from the month to the year, etc.). And finally, I'd like to be able to do advanced searches on the library with various criteria (ex: "from december 2004 to march 2007" AND tags "foo", "bar" AND has "baz" in its name/event name/folder name/etc. AND rating is ==None or >=4). I'm guessing this feature was already requested and filed in the bug tracker, but I thought I'd write it in this mail just in case. Sorry that I am not filing bugs, I am allergic to Trac. (please reply-to-all so I can be c.c.'ed) _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
