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.
OK. So I browsed the web a bit and found that f-spot keeps its database in photos.db but not in the place the web claimed. So find found it for me and I used it to import the existing database. Which seems to have worked modulo not having checked the error listing yet. So then I imported some photos I took today, which seemed to work. But it didn't let me tag them whilst importing like f-spot did. So it seems I have to tag every photo individually, which I can do but is a pain. Is there a better way to do that? Then worse, the photos don't actually turn up in the view of all photos, though they do in the list of most recently imported. So what's with that? Or in the list of photos with the tag that I just applied. Grr!? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
