Oliver,
the Extended Information window (View->Extended Information) will show you the
path of any photo.

It does not show anything.
Maybe, because I used not copying but only "linking" into the database??
That's odd. Select a photo, then choose Photos->Extended Information.
In the resulting dialog, the Location: field is empty? Are other values
(File size, Original dimensions and so on) also empty, or do they show
values? Can you send a screenshot of the Extended Information window to
[email protected]?
Version 0.12 does have one new capability in this respect: when you choose
Show in File Manager in 0.12, Nautilus (but not other file managers) will open
a window showing the containing directory and will highlight the actual file.
I use wmii window manager on my Arch box.
On my Ubuntu box (old install) I have gnome, but there
shotwell is outdated.
So something that just gives me the path in a way that can be copied cia
X11-mechanisms would be fine.
And ofte I work with the shell and start software this way.
So e.g. just copy-and-paste the path via LeftMouseButton-select/copy
and MiddleMouseButton-insert would be nice.
Also fine would be, if I could drag a file from the overview window into
a shell window and the path will be inserted into the shell, as if typed by
hand.
(At least with old shotwell versions 0.7.x this even does not work in Gnome.)
Yes, we agree: it would be nice if you could copy (or drag) photos out
of Shotwell, and it would also be nice if copying (or dragging) a photo
to an application like gedit or gnome-terminal would copy the photo's
path. See http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/1098 , and also the
discussion at http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/3451 .
