First of all Gerry and Carlos, my apologies as I realized that this morning I replied to you individually instead of opensuse-factory. I tried again later but for some reason emails are not showing up in the opensuse-factory archive and after 6 hours since I sent them, I'm assuming they might not have gone through. If I'm wrong I'm sorry for the spam today.
No problem :-)
I'll recap my answers here below:
Keep Shotwell. Go ahead and *add* Pix, if you like, but many long time Shotwell users, so it should remain.
Ok. Shotwell is also a good software and still uses menu-bar so I will keep it as it is.
They don't look the same thing to me... Ok, I installed "pix" on my 42.3 and the application seems to me very poor and incomplete replacement for shotwell. It does not display the existing tags and comments of the photos, for instance.
They are not the same thing. I suggested Pix as a completely different software but I'm ok to keep Shotwell as it still integrates well in Xfce. However, the version of Pix in Leap 42.3 is rather old 1.4.5 vs TW 1.8.2. Also the pattern change if accepted will most likely only affect TW and maybe Leap 15.1.
I tried also in tumbleweed this morning, and it lacks many features that shotwell has, just about seeing photos. I did not check manipulating photos (changing lights or contrast), nor importing photos from camera on TW. On Leap 42.3 it did not even see one of my cameras - I can test more cameras, but I tried the one that was handy. But for viewing photos, I expect that it does at least the same as Shotwell: It has to be able to sort by event. Currently it displays by directory tree. It has to be able to display the photo tags that were added with shotwell (at least those stored inside the photo as metadata). It has to be able to display the comments on each photo, if they exist. It has to be able to recognize and properly display RAW photos (.NEF in my case), and recognize that the RAW photo is the master one when there are both a RAW and a developed copy. And recognize that shotwell might have added its own copy, so do not display the three as three photos, but one. It is also possible that the camera only provides the RAW photo, and PIX is unable to zoom into them, it only displays the embedded thumbnail . - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
