Are you suggesting Shotwell over gthumb? If so, why? gthumb does a much
better job of conforming to our HIG than eog and Shotwell, and it seems
to have a comparable feature set to Shotwell.
I've used Shotwell quite extensively and don't understand why you are
advocating so strongly against it being the default photo *management*
application?
I understand the point that Shotwell Previewer isn't really suited for
being the default image viewer. But as a photo management application,
Shotwell has some nice features:
- non-destructive photo editing (it doesn't touch your original photos,
edits are stored in a database and applied on the fly)
- simple adjusting of the time and date of multiple photos at once
- automatic grouping of photos into events based on the time taken
- organizing photos by events, tags or via the file system hierarchy
I didn't have the time to test the new gThumb and I only saw the
screenshots, so please tell me, how does gThumb compare in the above
areas?
