directory structure within the sidebar?
We've been considering the latter: http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1594

Ah, don't do that. In my opinion that would destroy the good and well-sorted experience the user gets - cause this folder view will always remind him how messed up his pictures are stored. I think you don't need this folder view in Shotwell - if one wants to browse the directories, one can still use his favourite file manager...

It's clear that some users care about where photos are stored and others don't. The long-term plan for Shotwell is to add several more sidebar trees which the user can enable or disable as they like. If you don't care about events and only want to browse through your photos according to their on-disk location, you'll be able to hide the event tree and turn on the folder tree. Conversely, a user who only wants to use events will be able to show only that tree. We may also add trees which will let you browse photos by

- geolocation: country, state, city and so on (http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1473)
- import rolls (http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1793)
- time: like events, but doesn't allow renaming/splitting/merging (http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2747)
- cameras

and so on.  I hope this will make everyone happy.  :)
