Hi Adam, I have to say that I am really impressed by your reactivity! This in addition to the new features planned for the 0.8 release (especially #855 <http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/855>, #1290<http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1290>, #2476 <http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2476>, #2478<http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2478>), has definitely converted me to Shotwell! I'll talk about all that in my blog and around me ;)
By the way, I don't know if it is planned, but it will be nice if the two points I talked about earlier (#2824 <http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2824>, #1942 <http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1942>) can be applied on already existing photo files, after a Shotwell update. I mean an option (or automatically on shotwell start up if it does not take too much time?) that scans your photo library to verify that all photo files are in the good path and are well named. And maybe the same option to write already created tags/events/... to photo files metadata when this option (#1290 <http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1290>) will be available. So, the already imported files will take advantage of these new features. (you may understand that my implicite question is: can I start using Shotwell now or should I wait the next release? :P) Best Regards, Vivien.
