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 ;)
Glad to hear you're spreading the word. :)
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.
Agreed: once we've implemented the ability to let the user specify their
preferred filename pattern (http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1942) and file
path pattern (http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1597), there should be a
command that rearranges the existing library to match these patterns.
This is http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2170 .
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.
When you enable the checkbox to store tags and metadata in photo files,
Shotwell will traverse the library and will bring all files up to date
with any title/tag changes you've previously made inside Shotwell. This
is already implemented in trunk and will be in 0.8.
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)
I think you should use Shotwell now! :)
