F-Spot as default is one of the _few_ points that distinguish openSUSE's GNOME from the competition. I would be hesitant to recommend nonchalantly changing that just for the sake of change.
Now that F-Spot has switched to using Banshee's hyena-library we can look forward to some improvements, I hope, and keeping that MONO-duo together also has some logic to it.
Banshee and F-Spot are like twins; don't separate them.
Greets, Chris
But if F-spot doesn't even want to run when selected then what is the good of keeping it? Quite apart from this, "Banshee and F-spot are like twins" - but if someone has no need for banshee - which I certainly have not - then what? I only have the need for vlc and have no need for banshee or amarok or totem or kaffeine or........ And now what? There is a "debate" going on elsewhere about the way linux apps. are so closely linked so that one cannot install one without having to go thru dependency hell. What you just stated sounds along these "dependency hell" lines :-( .

Just a small side note: Isn't Mono dying? Oracle dropped the developers and now it's all up in the air. Unless Miguel de Icaza is going to keep the project running... If Mono disappears, keeping F-Spot might not be the best option in the future. I haven't kept track of Mono intensly, so my apologies if Miguel de Icaza indeed is still keeping it alive.

No, I don't think it is. The question about f-spot vs shotwell here is really just about the user experience. Cheers, Vincent -- Les gens heureux ne sont pas pressés. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
