Hi All,
I have just tried out Shotwell (I installed Ubuntu 10.10) and was hoping
that it would be better than F-Spot which I could never get working.
As some background, I use iPhoto for my photo organisation, It meets my
needs, but doesn't run on Ubuntu.
After playing with Shotwell for a few minutes (maybe 10 after importing
the photo's from my phone) I realised that it is very close to being
able to replace iPhoto for my needs. So here's a big pat on the back for
the developers who have obviously worked very hard at making this great
software.
Thanks! :)
I went to your web site to post a suggestion / feature request, but this
was the only place I could find to do so.
Here are my suggestions (both should be easy):
1) create a a feature request page for people to request features / make
suggestions without having to subscribe to the mailing list.
OK - I've just updated the Shotwell wiki page to mention that you can
email the Shotwell team directly at <shotwell at yorba.org>. Also, you
can always file a ticket in our bug tracking system at trac.yorba.org.
2) when Importing, import videos as well as photo's, this shouldn't be
too hard, just a tweak to the download mechanism, and have the software
be able to pass the video to a player app (you already do this with an
image editor)
Ideally a preview image of the video would be great, but I could wait
for that and would be happy with a generic movie image to start with.
Video support is a major new feature in Shotwell 0.8 (coming soon now).
This is already completely implemented in the trunk - to try it out,
you'll need to build Shotwell from source as described here:
http://yorba.org/shotwell/install/#source
Or you can just wait for 0.8. :)
cheers
