I globaly agree with Harald. Needs to be examined closer. Thierry

First off, a big round of applause to the people behind Shotwell! I for one -but I won't be alone- was amazed at the light-weightedness and the speed of Shotwell! Oh what a bliss :-) Well, I'll not beat around the bush: My two cents: The systems of "events" and "tags" in my not so humble opinion are two sides of the same medal; I might be way off, but by my reckoning I can divvy up any photo collection by applying "what", "where" and "when" to every picture; I think I'd pretty much be sorted. In Shotwell, the "what" (event) mimicks the "when" (date) -and I've read more than one comment here that this is in effect experienced as such by people using Shotwell. Events -as currently implemented- don't add much; more often than not for me, several "events" have been photographed on any day where Shotwell treats them as one single event. But Shotwell is more than capable of dealing with the "when"; it's what you get out of the EXIF information in each file... 1) So my feature request would be to be able to separate the tags into "headers" (and I personally would set it up as described above; what, where and when). I'd be the first to admit this is a nice-to-have :-) 2) My second feature request would be for the tags to be able to be drag-and-dropped onto a (selection of) photos, so I don't have to retype them all the time (so if I am looking for "Christmas" I know I am not looking for "X-Mas" or "XMAS" at the same time too). 3) If I could tag any photo in the "what", "where", "when" way, I'd be able to retrieve any photo by it too, so I *know* I am looking for this great picture taken in 2006 -or maybe 2005?, where Phil was in it, but Mary wasn't and I am quite sure it was at *their* house too and wasn't this at their wedding anniversary? It's not the archiving, it's the retrieving which is the magical part :-) Having said that: I moved from 0.7.x (Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat) to 0.8.1. (via your repos) today and was amazed at the amount of progress having been made! Keep up the good work and thank you!
