Would it be better to different formats with different viewers or would that be confusing for the users? I was not aware about the fact that shotwell doesn't handle some formats. I don't think it's a good idea to have different apps for different formats. -- Owais Lone he...@owaislone.org http://www.owaislone.org -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop

As an opinionated user, please do not remove EOG from the distribution. EOG is great for quick and dirty image viewing, while Shotwell is perfect for cataloging all of those lovely images. What might be better is a way to send an image to Shotwell for cataloging, but to have Shotwell be the default would be like... well, like making Banshee the default for all music files. (And that wasn't a great decision either.)

Re: EOG vs Shotwell Viewer
Hi! To my testing and usage shotwell viewer is much slower than EOG, from opening a high resolution image to zooming on an image so there that's a very big reason to not switch to shotwell viewer and also I believe there are still many file formats that shotwell viewer is still not able to open. It might be worth exploring to enhance the integration between EOG and shotwell though. Thanks!

Re: EOG vs Shotwell Viewer
It might be worth exploring to enhance the integration between EOG and shotwell though I think eog supports python plugins (using libpeas?). So can we have a plugin which adds a button on the toolbar Edit with Shotwell which opens shotwell image viewer which has basic image editing features. - Manish -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop

I couldn't figure out how to get something into the toolbar (probably just not looking hard enough).
