Yes: http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/601 http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2154 Animated GIFs would be great too. Those don't seem so common these days, so we haven't really considered supporting them.

The event tree is stored purely in Shotwell's database, and shows your photos ordered by time. Independently of that, Shotwell places your photos in dated folders when you import them. In the future, we plan to add more trees to the Shotwell sidebar, and to let the user show or hide them independently. Thus, if you're uninterested in the event view, you'll simply be able to hide it. We also plan to give you more control over where Shotwell places imported photos: this is http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1597 . > Thank you for your time and patience, especially if these questions have > been answered already in the mailing list (I haven't subscribed), and thank > you for your work on Shotwell itself, it's a marvellous little app and I > think I'll be sending donations its way. :) > That would certainly be appreciated! cheers adam _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
