Ubuntu Replaces F-Spot With Shotwell

Posted by timothy on from the such-pretty-pictures dept.

climenole writes "Finally! The much discussed F-Spot vs. Shotwell battle is over. The new default image organizer app for Ubuntu Maverick 10.10 is going to be Shotwell. This is a much-needed change; F-Spot was simply not enough. Most of the times when I tried F-Spot, it just keeps crashing on me. Shotwell on the other hand feels a lot more solid and is better integrated with the GNOME desktop. Shotwell is also completely devoid of Mono."

    Shouldn't it then be named G-spot? If a program of such a name were to exist, would any male users be able to find it, let alone use it?

      Shot well... a well that you shoot into... I don't think any males in the FOSS community will be able to open the program, much less add files to it.

      If it's got Mono, I'm not touching it. No wonder it's slow and tired.

    For fuck sake, editors.

    EDIT!

    You must be new he... wait, your UID is 5551? And you're complaining about this now?

    Sir, I am in awe of your patience. Carry on.

    Pah. People with four or less numbers in their UID are just a myth.

    I'm using Kubuntu btw, so I couldn't care less about F-Spot.

    Well, thanks for taking the time to post a comment in an article about a product you "couldn't care less about". That's very generous of you, and I'm sure we're all better for reading your insightful words.

    Actually, that was intentional. He tried it several months ago and it's still crashing.

    Sure, I guess that works until you can install Emacs, but I'd hardly call it a real editor....

    Is anyone _really_ wondering... about either?

    XSANE should never be made available. The GUI is a complete mess, looking like something that belongs on the Amiga. Also, it has yet to work with a single scanner or webcam I throw at it.

    I think I see your problem.. Stop throwing stuff. Peripherals tend to last longer without sudden impact.
