Our design for external editing was to keep the user interface simple. We prefer not to have large menus with numerous sub-menus for various options. we may have to someday, but we're trying to keep things pared down. Note that with 0.8's coming feature to monitor your library at run-time, you'll be able to run an image editor without launching it through Shotwell, and the changes will be reflected. > - to export to web galleries (I personnaly use Piwigo and Gallery). > We have a ticket for Gallery support (http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1585) and there's been movement on support Piwigo (http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2639).
