Fedora seems to be a very good distro when it comes to smartly choosing the right software, but I found it odd that there are two different image managers. Wouldn't it be better to have only one and save some space on the disc (preferably Shotwell, since even though it's not yet capable of viewing every format you might throw at it, it otherwise blows Eye of Gnome away in features and polish)? Maybe use that space to make Liferea reader a default application and throw us RSS lovers a bone?
I installed shotwell on my 10.04 machine and it worked great, especially uploading to facebook. It installed version 0.7.2. So I installed it on a 9.10 machine, and it installed version 0.5.2 which has problems uploading to facebook. I installed using these commands: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yorba/ppa sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install shotwell I tried using "sudo apt-get upgrade" but nothing happened. I searched for a Deb file for version 0.7.2 but couldn't find one.
Taken some pics and stored in Shotwell. When I go to File/Send to the email part does not highlight and give me sending Bluetooth and 2 others. How does one email them?
I'm a desktop user and I rely heavily on Debian and shotwell to organize my images. I also use shotwell to publish images to a popular social networking site, Facebook. Recently I wasn't able to make shotwell publish into Facebook.
I was still on Debian Wheezy and decided it was time to dist-upgrade to Debian Jessie and hope that this would sort things out. It wasn't easy for me to upgrade - but I think I made a fairly satisfying one as I can normally use what I use my desktop for (work and entertainment).
I still cannot use shotwell to publish into Facebook.
Shotwell keeps on crashing when importing either from a folder or my iPhone. I am using it on an S10 netbook. I tried several versions but keeps on getting the same problem. I am thinking of cleaning everything from Shotwell and reinstall. I am running Ubuntu on an iMac via vbox (with less resource) and do not get the problem.
I tried searching but have not gotten any solid answer to resolve it.
I need make the copy of my images system on the second PC. But I can`t transfer its data. It seems that the way to images is stored absolutly, for example /home/john/images/holiday. If the second user`s name is Marry, the way will be /home/marry/images/holiday and Shotwell don`t accept this.
I've imported my pictures into Shotwell, but not all of them are showing up. For instance, I have an event (White Water Rafting) where 25 of the 48 pictures got imported correctly. The rest of them were placed in this 2008/12/28 folder and this folder is not visible in Shotwell so I cannot move them into the album.
I can manually move the pictures to their proper dates, but how do I add them to the database? One caveat, the pictures are stored in an accessible /home/SHARE/Pictures/Photo directory so my wife and I can both import into the same place and have access (while the kids have read-only access). I placed the .shotwell directory with all of the database information in /home/SHARE/Pictures/.Shotwell and linked our local .shotwell directory in our home folders to this shared location version.
I am wondering if there is a way to:Force the inclusion of these pictures that are not showing up? Force the database to re-create the thumbnails/scan for particular dates or should I remove (rename) the database, move the files to where they should be and re-import the entire structure (minus the "copy to ... " option)
I just finished upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 and converting from F-spot to Shotwell, including adding a large number of new photographs (>15 k).
On opening Shotwell today I found that all "tags" and "events", including those from the F-stop imported photos, have disappeared!! (strangely the photo ratings are maintained)
No amount of searching was able to relocate them. The modification date on the photo.db in the .shotwell folder is pre-problem, so I am holding out some hope that the relevant data have not been over-written.
I am not familiar with sql so do not know how to check the db (or restore the correct headers or whatever else is needed).
I've used Shotwell to give titles to a lot of photos, and now realise that I want to also rename those files using the title. I see that Shotwell saves the title into XMP IPTC structure, using this: dc:title[x]. how to batch rename a bunch of files using this data?
I'm running ubuntu 10.04 on one computer, 10.10 on another two and kubuntu 10.04 on a 4th computer.
I'd like to get the latest version of shotwell installed on each of those computers. That way I can share libraries among the computers and keep my pictures in sync with tags and events.
How would I go about doing that other than upgrading all the computers to 10.10. Is this something ubuntu can do or is this a downside of ubuntu?
Is there any chance to remove side panel of shotwell and have an appearance like somehow F-Spot or is there any other programs that have same appearance like F-Spot. F-Spot seems good to me but it's lacking of sorting is a bit annoying.
I am starting to use Shotwell for my photo management in lieu of DigiKam. One tool that I liked in DigiKam which does not seem to be present in Shotwell is the ability to add/edit geolocation data. Is there anyway of working with geolocation data from within Shotwell?
If i start shotwell i get this message.shotwell: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/libgee.so.2: undefined symbol: g_malloc0_n
Not sure if i killed something, but would like to get it going again.Can not really figure it out, but i reinstalled shotwell. Did not solve the problem.
I'm using Debian testing but I want Shotwell (and nothing else) from experimental. I also like to be notified when there is an update to Shotwell in experimental. Will that be achieved if I add experimental to sources.conf and the following to preferences? Package: shotwell Pin: release a=experimental Pin-Priority: 600
I have tried downloading including the launchpad ppa and wanted to install shotwell, but get the following error:
libgexiv2-0: Depends: libexiv2-6 but it is not installable shotwell: Depends: libexiv2-6 but it is not installable Depends: sqlite3 (>= 3.5.9) but it is not installable Depends: libraw-dev (>= 0.9.0) but it is not going to be installed
Connected Camera. Imported photos to Shotwell.Shotwell asked whether to keep or erase photo from camera. I chose to erase.Started viewing the imported photos. After sometime Shotwell froze.Checked my photos folder, the photos haven't been copied there yet. Checked the camera; It's empty.There were 2 sqlite databases (.tmp files) in /tmp. Copied. I couldn't find those photos in either /tmp or ~/.shotwell or anywhere else.
I'm on Debian Wheezy using Shotwell 0.12.3. I have a bunch of .MOV videos that I want to import to Shotwell. I choose import from folder and select copy pictures. The import proceeds and shotwell tells med the .MOV (and some .jpg:s) are imported. The pictures are imported with no problem and placed in an event 2014-10-19 as expected. But videos are placed in an event dated 2004-01-01 and not in 2014-10-19 where they belong. Obviously, Shotwell does not use the files last edit date. I though maybe there was some bad dates in the metadata and opened the files in both Totem and VLC player but concluded there is no such metadata available (as far as I can tell).So how does Shotwell determine the date for .MOV files? Where does 2004-01-01 come from? Seems random.
Then, I tried dragging all movies in Shotwell to the event where it really belongs. That is, where the recently imported photos got placed 2014-10-19. But instead of the videos beeing moved into that correct event, now all photos appears in the 2004-01-01 event.Undo that last step and close Shotwell. Then, instead I manually (in nautilus) copy the .mov files to the 2014-10-19 folder where the picures resides. Open Shotwell again which detects something happened and starts import the videos again. Unfortunatley they still show up in the 2004-01-01 event
Another wierd thing is if I manually (in nautilus) move the Shotwell 2004-01-01 folder away from the Pictures folder (out of reach for Shotwell). Then when I re-open Shotwell the event does not appear anymore - as expected. But If I try to once again import the videos, Shotwell tells me all videos are duplicates and does not import them!?! In other words, manually removing a folder from Shotwell mess up the database. And that database is obviously not used to populate the events tree in the gui.How do I get my video to appear in the correct event? Alternatively; is there a photo/video library in Debian that actually works?
Seeing this on two systems that went through F13-F14 upgrade.
version: gnome-applets-2.32.0-1.fc14.x86_64
symptom: via right click on a gnome panel, perform "add to panel" and choose Dwell Click. Gnome panel bites the dust with SIGSEGV at this point, restarts, and then you've got dwell click on the panel.
Anyone else seeing this, and better yet, have a solution?
is there some wiki page on GNOME or Fedora that list which graphics cards work without problems on Fedora 15 with GNOME Shell? I have tried 3 older cards and they all failed, so I would like to share this info with others so people know which cards to avoid if they want to use full features of GNOME 3 via GNOME Shell.
I am coming from about 3 months of Ubuntu/Kubuntu and have learned quite a lot from it and am looking into other linux distros, now I haven't installed Fedora yet, but I have a few questions about it, I have a acer aspire one netbook, how well does Fedora support netbooks (e.g small screens)?
I have a verizon usb760 internet modem (I'm pretty sure it's 3G), will it work "out of the box" with Fedora Graphically wise, what are the differences between gnome/kde in Fedora, than in gnome/kde in Ubuntu? How stable is Fedora 14? I have a 8gb flash drive that I want to put Fedora on to install it rather than a cd, will that work? And the last, does Fedora have a live cd feature like Ubuntu so I can try it before I install?
I've managed to ALT-RIGHT-click-add some launchers to the top gnome-panel. When i now click on a launcher the gnome-panel crashes(?) and reappeares, but the program starts without problems. If i do this two times in a row (1 sec diff or so) the gnome-crash screen appears and i've got to log out although all the programs are still running without any problems.
dmesg shows this: [14460.034820] gnome-panel[4428]: segfault at 18 ip 0000003810fc05df sp 00007fffcaae4c30 error 4 in libgtk-3.so.0.0.10[3810e00000+3fb000]
I noticed that in Fedora 15 Beta when you choose a minimal install then add ONLY the defaults of the "GNOME Desktop" package, you will get this error: gnome-desktop3-3.0.1-2.fc15.x86_64 has a required package:
system-backgrounds-gnome
When I look for gnome-desktop3-3.0.1-2.fc15.x86_64 it is not on any installation menu list. I prefer gnome, but installed KDE and that worked. Any ideas of getting gnome to work?
If I: 1. Add drawer(s) on the gnome panel 2. add items to one or more of those drawers 3. reboot then: 1. all empty drawers can operate normally 2. drawers that have stuff in it cannot be opened.
