Hi, I just updated to shotwell 0.11, it looks like a nice improvement over the previous version, which comes with a price: it increases user expectations :) In case this is not the right place to discuss feature requests, I wanted to submit this to the bugtracker but never got the email to activate my account.
My new pet peeve is the publishing dialog. As you may know, google increased the "free images" size limit for google plus users to 2048 pixels, and the dialog restricts me to either 1600 pixels or full size, preventing me from taking advantage of the new free storage. After a quick look at the code, it seems easy to fix by adding a single line to the picasa export plugin. Actually, I did just this, and it works fine (the diff is too small to be of any interrest), but I would love a proper solution. Indeed, what if the size changes again. Or for some reason, a user want to use some intermediate step between the free storage limit and the original size? If I recall properly, f-spot has a widget to set a custom size along with some presets, but it feels wrong, what I would like is to keep only the presets, but to allow the user to add entries to it. Would it be possible to have a "+" button next to the preset selection combobox, that allows to add custom sizes? For the sake of simplicity, I think that a list of custom sizes should be managed by shotwell itself, each publishing plugin could then decide to use them or not (based on size limits enforced by the service itself). Some other changes to the publishing dialog that would be lovely: * the names of the preset sizes are misleading: resize sets a limit on the larger border and preserves aspect ratio, it doesn't enforce a 4:3 ratio as the preset sizes suggest. * the service selection does not allow multiple accounts on the same service. Relying on the new gnome online accounts panel might be the easiest path for this, do you have any plan in this direction?
