Shotwell says, there are now 29.775 photographs. But I'm not sure if raw and jpeg are counted together. But I have a lot more photographs which are not already slurped into shotwell. So I have some more stuff to look what happens if I use real data in shotwell with much more than 30k files. But at the moment I need shotwell to create some prints from some phortographs, and so I have no time to insert more photos just to test the behaviour of shotwell. > > > What I now today saw: if no picture is selected or if more than one picture > > is selected, > > then the window with the enhanced information opens and shows nothing. > > A message box, saying that there must be one qand only one picture be > > selected would > > help here. > > > > Maybe this was just the case (no picture selected), > > which was irritating me. > > This feature has been requested: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/4854 OK. > > Currently, we don't have plans to fix this issue, but if you'd like to > add your opinion to the ticket listed above, please do. Maybe later. But let me mention: some pictures, when selected, do not show all necessary information. I already sent a screenshot of the enhanced-information-window to yorba. I selected one picture and only the path and the filesize was displayed, not the dimesnions of the picture. I maybe explore that later in more depth. With some of my raw-pics I also have problems when viewing them with qiv image viewer. Maybe the problem is not a problem from qiv and not from shotwell, but from a raw-pic library? But shotwell displays those pics with missing dimesnions correctly. So at the moment I don't know more details. Can just guesing whats going on, until I have time to explore it in depth. This will be not before the weekend. At the moment it's just guessing around. > > >> I will try to reproduce this, but if you didn't see it again, it > >> sounds like something that was just a fluke.

Fine that you agree. :-) More exploration will follow. > > > From what I experienced today when using shotwell intensive, > > is: all in all shotwell is a pleasure to use. :-) > > Glad you're enjoying Shotwell overall! Yes. :-) I thought, it's a good ideas to mention it... because my mourning otherwise might look too negative. When the number of pics will increase, maybe I again will start to complain. ;-) But then I think some optimisations could be implemented to solve that problem. (I already mentioned the bulk insertion; will answer to the last mail on this list regarding this problem, as soon as I have time.) What I do like is the usability. It was so easy to give stars and tags to pictures, hey this was really amazing. Especially if you have a lot of pictures and the problem of making decisions, which pics to select, then good usability is important. Keyboard-based handling makes things so fast. :-) And I have a new feature wish for that, which I will send in a seperate mail.
