Question for those familiar with photo manipulation: which program use for downloading photos from camera and organize/view them? They (my friends) want use it from Gnome2 at F14 with idea they sometime will update to F19+ and MATE desktop. As far as I know, in Fedora was preferred gThumb, now it seems as Shotwell is preferred more (at least as far as Fedora installer offers). Both programs uses GTK libraries, thus are perhaps both suitable for use in Gnome2/MATE environment.
Know anyone knowledgeable in this area which program is more suitable for this task? When I simply start gThumb and Shotwell I beliewe gThumb seems more visually convenient for me, but I not know their properties, advantages and disadvantages. Can someone help with, or refer to any URLs where both programs are compared? Or, maybe there is/are other programs, better/more suitable for this?
Thanks in advance, Franta Hanzlik

You recommend skip over F19+ and jump directly to windows? IMO it is unacceptable, they are horrible reactionaries and do not merits such happiness. Or, when You recommend 'digikam' SW, what are benefits for this election? Digikam is Qt/KDE based, thus I'd rather see some GTK based piece of SW (but not insist upon this - I'm using Xfce and MATE and using k3b instead of not so powerfull GTK alternatives). Could You offer/refer to some comparison digikam x gThumb x shotwell?
TIA, Franta Hanzlik

Digikam has been in Fedora since F17, Windows support is new and they have it as an announcement on their homepage.
For what it's worth I've yet to find a photo organiser that actually made life easier and just sort by folders, for which both eog (gtk/gnome) and gwenview (qt/kde) are fine as viewers.

I've used Digikam as part of KDE for a lot longer than that. I didn't even know there was a Windows version.

I just mount it and copy the files into directories organised by camera and date.

You could take a look at darktable. It's purpose isn't so much just showing some pictures but more to work with them.

A little bumped with the advertisement on the front page, aren't you Fran. :) Since you mention it, http://www.libreoffice.org/download/?nodetect http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/all.html Boogeyman, aren't they. :)

If the desktop environment is what is most important to you, not the application itself, go ahead, knock yourself. digiKam speaks for itself. Besides you didn't even mention the type of camera in question.
