F-Spot is my favorite photo management software at all. Now it is available as version 0.6: * no longer depends on libeog * fighting against deprecation, on the path to gnome3 * new viewer widget * new widget showing folders organisation * new Preference dialog * db and config moved to .config (or whatever is pointed by xdg config) * tons of bugs fixed (really) * updated translations
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
After many different posts about thumbnailers for various file formats, here is a complete collection for visual pimping your Nautilus. This is refered too Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04.
Once i was very happy getting a message from Jan Dudek about his PSD PixBuf loader for Photoshop PSD files for the Gnome Linux Desktop. It makes it possible viewing such files with any Gnome application supporting PixBuf loaders. Now i'm very happy again because Stephane Delcroix did the same for Gimp XCF files. So Nautilus, gThumb, F-Spot, EOG etc. can display the open standard and the industrie standard for layered image documents The bad thing is i didn't get it running at the moment. May someone can create a Deb package for it .
After a longer development break the image viewer gThumb is back. This time again with bugfixes and translation updates. All details about this release can be found at the "News" page.
Once i reported that i kicked of the steppers of my theme, in the last weeks i started now to redesign it. The goal is again to think about what is really needed if you are a power user and you are very familiar with your desktop. I ask my self what i'm using/ where i'm looking often (accelerators and toolbar) and what/ where not (menu, statusbar, windows titles). As a UI designer i really enjoy it that you need just gEdit and Gimp to modify/ create a theme and not any additional theming-switching-patch-hidden-registry-stuff-tool Here is a screen of the actual state of "New Glory":
The Smashing Magazine didn't get tired of collecting artwork. This time they collected 50 beautiful movie posters. My favorites are: * Walk aline * The Thing * The Nightmare Before Christmas * Unforgiven * Man With One Red Shoe * Perfume * Mean Streets * Sweeney Todd As you see it isn't easy to pick just one in such a good selection
With some smaller fixes F-Spot 0.5.0.1 is available: * workaround a bug in gdk-pixbuf * some new translations * .desktop fixes Since a while i use F-Spot 0.5.0 which adds a lot of nice features and brings great speed improvement. For me anything works very well and again F-Spot is my favorite photo management software at all. For those may having some trouble you should check out the the F-Spot posts at the Init 7 blog.
