Come on people, F-Spot has been able to NOT copy photos for a few releases now. Yes there are problems with it's speed etc but please gets the facts straight. Just uncheck the copy photos checkbox when importing. Cheers On Sat, 2010-05-15 at 13:43 +0300, Lucian Adrian Grijincu wrote: > On Sat,

Let's hope that with the proposed removal of F-Spot and Solang as it's replacement, we'll see The GIMP reinstated. The first thing I did upon a fresh install of Lucid was apt-get remove fspot and apt-get install gimp. The decision to see The GIMP's removal by default is purely insane if you ask me.

Why was Shotwell chosen over Solang? It seems the only motivation for shotwell is to try Vala. Solang seems to already be in line with what we need and want. Is there a link to where this decision was made so we can see the discussion rather than just an announcement? Some people think that neither
