As we rapidly approach the release of Shotwell 0.8, we invite anyone to test the current build in the hopes of shaking out any last bugs. To refresh your memory, this release includes such features as:
* Video support, including uploading videos to various Web services (including YouTube) * Runtime monitoring and auto-import of the library directory * Option to write metadata (tags, titles, rating) to master files * Flagging files for batch operations * Set multiple photos to desktop background slideshow * ... and more! If you're interested in helping out, follow the directions here for getting the source and building it: http://www.yorba.org/shotwell/install/#source Please note that Shotwell will *not* build with Vala 0.11. Use Vala 0.10.1 if possible (Vala 0.9.7 is the minimum version). Since running from trunk has its perils, you might consider backing up your existing Shotwell database before running the new version. Instructions for doing so are here: http://trac.yorba.org/wiki/Shotwell/FAQ#HowcanIbackupmyShotwelllibrary Also be aware that running the trunk version requires a database upgrade, which means the database will not work with older versions of Shotwell. If you find bugs or issues -- anything that seems odd -- please feel free to report them here on the mailing list or via our Trac ticketing system at: http://trac.yorba.org/ Thanks for your continued support! -- Jim _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
