I just got around to start using my Leap box to manage my photos. But I'm rapidly getting frustrated and would appreciate any help. I'm aware that these issues are likely to do with individual applications, but I'd appreciate the best ways to make my views known to those application devs as well as Leap packagers, if relevant. But of course, best of all would be for somebdy to explain how to deal with these issues by better understanding the programs. My first annoyance was gimp. It seems to have decided that when I open a jpg, I haven't 'opened' it, I have 'imported' it. More practically annoying is that when I select part of a jpg image and try to save it, it doesn't. It tries to save some xcf thing and I have to 'export' to a jpg. Which wouldn't be too bad except it still keeps the image status as unsaved, giving me one more piece of information I have to hold in my head instead of having the computer remember the obvious stuff for me. So how do I open a jpg, cut a bit out of it, and save that as jpg with least grief? My second annoyance is photo management. I use LXDE, not KDE and not Gnome. I use a couple of photo managers for different purposes. Tonight I'm experimenting with the use where I've historically used f-spot. So my first guess was to use shotwell. But I'm stuck at the first hurdle. It apparently can import f-spot data, but it seems to expect me to know where that is. I don't; why can't it find it? Plus (a) it keeps wingeing about dconf not working and (b) the help won't popup because it tries to launch firefox and it doesn't have permission (and I'm not going to give it permission!). So any advice on how to drive shotwell, particularly importing an f-spot database, or where to find help, or alternative programs that could be a substitute would be gratefully received. The other program I sometimes use is digikam, but that tends to annoy me so I haven't tried to use that yet.
