Ruben Vermeersch answers about: Is
F-Spot Live and kicking?
Yes it is

There are several real interesting things going on:
* Mike Gemünde is currently cleaning and refactoring quite a lot of IconView code
* Geotagging is coming (Mike Gemünde is working on it too)
* Paul Wellner Bou is working on a nice extension to compare different image versions
* Lorenzo Milesi is working on export support to tabblo and taking care of bugzilla
* Ruben Vermeersch himself working on prototyping some stuff related to progressive image loading and preloading. He is also looking into RAW processing

PSD, effect, xcf, preview
...

Surfing around at
Planet Gnome brings me to
Gloobus, a nice and handy preview addon inspired by the preview of
Mac OS X and Coverflow. For me the most interesting part is the
Coverflow effect integration into Nautilus.
The bad news is that witout rebuilding Nautilus only the normal
Gloobus 0.4 is available as a Deb archive. A really nice goody is that is install GTK PixBuf Loader for support of Photoshop PSD and GIMP XCF files to the entire Gnome desktop. So any Gnome graphics viewer (like EOG, F-Spot or gThumb) can preview these formats too.
If you like these features don't forget to support the project by a donation!

...
As i wrote in my post about my new
Dell Studio 17 and Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 i've lost the possibility to get thumbnails Photoshop PSD files in Nautilus.
But now i discovered how to get thumbnails of
GIMP XCF files

Just install the packages "
xcftools" and "
gnome-xcf-thumbnailer". It seems there is a bug in the package "gnome-scf-thumbnailer" because the dependency about the packages "xcftools" is missing.

One of the oldest projects where i'm part of it (and in this case i'm founder of it too) is:
Webcuts - Internet Film Fest Berlin. Now the
call of submission started and everybody is invoked to submit his movie (don't forget to read the rules).
Of course the Webcuts project is looking for
sponsors too

This time i started to design the flyer and website using
Inkscape. For the
prepress PDF of the flyer and
web graphics export i used
GIMP.
