so...
For a 4 or 5 star image:
- keep original size jpg + duplicate raw file if it exists
For a 1 to 3 star image:
- keep original jpg only (no raw)
For an unrated:
- resample jpg image (either resize or reencode with higher
compression)
Is this a feature that others see value in?
In my opinion (a user trying to hack Shotwell from time to time, not
mainstream developer), there is a usability potential of this
kind of features.
(brainstorming)
However, I think this is a very good candidate to implement as
extension, a plug-in.
Agreed.
I'm not sure if the current SPIT allows to extend
managing actions, but perhaps it could.
Then you can have a plug-in that hooks in when a photo is rated:
1. Select 1..N photos
2. Set rating
3. The plug-in post-rating processes photo using
3.1. For a 4 or 5 star image:
3.2. For a 1 to 3 star image:
3.3. ...
In order to make it possible, the SPIT would have to provide events,
lets's say "management events": pre-action, post-action, where action
is rating applied, flag set, tag added, tag removed, etc.
Right. Shotwell's plugin architecture (SPIT - see
http://trac.yorba.org/wiki/ShotwellArchWritingPlugins) currently only
lets you add a publishing destination or slideshow transition. It
doesn't yet provide hooks to let you respond to arbitrary events or
perform arbitrary actions as you suggested. It would be cool if we can
make it that general at some point, though (this is
http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1603).
