Hello,
I am Sriram,and hoping to work on Shotwell this summer as a part of GSoC :)
.I had a look at the ideas page and checked out the source code and played
around a little.I think(please correct me if I am wrong) most ideas are too
difficult hard to implement. I think I might be able to implement the 3
ideas related to Displaying photos. #1112 , #1175, #1557.
I have a big test coming next month,so I would like to start preparing my
proposal little earlier :D .
Is there anyone I can talk to about these tickets? Perhaps Adam,who has
reported them all.I would like to discuss the implementation in detail and
whether it would be possible to implement more ideas.
Sriram,
sure - we're always happy to discuss Shotwell ideas and/or
implementation details. Here's some brief feedback on the tickets you
mentioned:
- use pictures as screensaver (http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1112)
This is trickier than it sounds because of the challenge of accessing
the Shotwell database from two different processes. See the ticket for
more details. We'll think more soon about just how we think that should
be accomplished.
- support color profiles (http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1175)
This is an important feature idea, but I haven't looked into this much
so I don't really know how hard this would be. Lucas, do you have
thoughts about this?
- music in slideshows (http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1557)
GStreamer is the way to implement this. I actually think that video
playback in Shotwell is more important and probably isn't much harder,
so you might want to consider that too:
