Hi, That are great ideas! For example I have a desktop and a laptop, I thought about pushing everything to a local server, but that's becoming a bit tricky... The family case is a good example again! So a *distributed* option for shotwell would be very useful.
The antony's idea has a less important priority (for me) but is quite nice too. What about *sensible* photos you want to manage but you don't want anybody to browse them if they just open shotwell on your machine? (e.g. the family computer case). Two *easy-to-do* options (I guess) would be : - adding a special tag feature (let's say "sensible" with a beautiful locker or warning icon) that requires the sudo password (or whatever for Windows) each time you want to browse them (or even better, just one time for each instance of shotwell). - a "Show sensible photos" checkbox in the Edition menu (unchecked at startup) that requires the sudo password for each instance of shotwell if you check it. Regards, Vivien.
