Dear developers,
Our Fedora 15 build of Shotwell 0.9.0 seems to compile just fine, but
at runtime, the only plugins visible are 'Publishing' and 'Slideshow
Transitions', neither of them have the 'About' button enabled. When
using the publishing plugin, the only connector available is Piwigo.
'Publishing' and 'Slideshow Transitions' themselves are not plugins;
those are plugin categories. Under each category, you should see a list
of corresponding plugins. In other words, the plugins dialog should be
showing a tree that looks like this:
http://yorba.org/download/scratch/plugins.png
From looking at the build logs and the installed
shotwell-publishing.so, the Facebook (and Flickr, etc.) code do seem
to be linked properly:
$ strings /usr/lib64/shotwell/plugins/builtin/shotwell-publishing.so
| grep facebook | wc
283 283 16705
$ strings /usr/lib64/shotwell/plugins/builtin/shotwell-publishing.so
| grep flickr | wc
164 164 8426
But they are nowhere at runtime, and there's no warning given that the
targets are not available.
OK - obviously something is wrong here. I've created a Shotwell ticket
at http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/3421. Our engineer Lucas Beeler, who
worked on the Shotwell plugin system and is an active Fedora user, will
help you investigate.
Also, is the documentation updated for 0.9.0? One of our users filed a
bug report, expecting the Facebook etc. publishing targets to appear
in Edit->Preferences->Plugins. I notice that the documentation page
also implies that the plugins can be disabled, but I don't see a way
of doing that ATM.
The documentation has been updated. The reason you don't see a way of
disabling plugins is because you're actually looking at plugin
categories, not plugins.
We'll look at this soon - we should certainly fix this in time for the
Fedora 15 beta release. Cheers -
