I want to raise the question of our default photo manager application Right now this is f-spot. However, lately, it has been moving slower than usual for various reasons (contributors have a life!), and while f-spot has served us well, it appears that shotwell is really moving fast and people love it. I'm not really a big user of such an app, so we need some people to play with both to tell us if it's reasonable to switch to shotwell by default for 12.1. If it's not, then it's all fine and we can stay with f-spot.
I have 10,000+ images in F-Spot. I like F-Spot, but if there is a migration path, I'm fine with switching. A migration path is key. For me F-Spot and Shotwell seem more or less functionally identical [almost comically so - I really enjoyed all Shotwells feature claims, all of which F-Spot already had, but whatever. I guess even Open Source has bullshit and marketing-think].
Why is migration path so important for several folks here? Please enlighten me... Vincent did not propose to drop f-spot, just to change the default of what gets installed in a new installation. So, this means, if you update, you keep f-spot and get shotwell installed as additional application and can decide which ones to use. New users would only get shotwell - and could easily install f-spot if needed, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE aj@{novell.com,suse.com,opensuse.org} Twitter/Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
