I just started using shotwell, but the separation of tags and events is indeed confusing - why have events if you could have tags with a certain format, e.g."#@!EVENT!@#" and a display which sorts by using these tags? This would also allow: 1) multiple events 2) subevents (e.g. Marriage - reception - church - evening - ... and 3) these events would be stored in the image and available for other programs as well. A timeline view based on the actual photos actual dates would be very useful. Cheers, Rainer > Or would that be too much like F-Spot? :-) > > Andy.
