Sriram,
apologies for the delay in responding - it's been a busy time with the
recent release of Shotwell 0.9.1.

Hi again,
I have revised my possible feature enhancements to the following after the
reading the blog. :)
Using pictures as screen-saver(#1112)
Captions in Sideshows(#1592)
Sideshow music(#1557)
Video Playback inside Shotwell(#2820)
I think I have chosen features which have some common base.
This could be a reasonable feature set for a summer's work.
I also wrote a basic code which implements a music playback in Shotwell and
attached the patch files to the ticket tracker.( I am not sure how to submit a
bug patch in Trac ).
Seems like you attached your patches just fine.
Its pretty basic, but I just want to make sure, the basics is write before
implementing the whole thing.
I have some doubts about the settings and how it is implemented.
Lucas Beeler, an engineer on the Shotwell team, will take a look at your
code changes and give some basic feedback.
A UI mockup( even a hand-drawn) would point me in the right direction.
I think what we'd like is pretty straightforward. The slideshow
settings dialog should have a checkbox called "Play music during
slideshow" and an associated file chooser button. If the checkbox is
checked, the file chooser will let the user choose a music file to
play. Optionally, it might be nice if there were also a play/pause
button which the user could use to preview the music in that dialog
before starting the actual slideshow.
Also I was wondering, if I could get in contact with any one of the main
developers via IRC or IM,since a chat would be better for communication than a
mailing list.
We're not always lurking around on IRC, but feel free to email me and/or
[email protected] (the Shotwell team) at any time to ask if we are free
to join you in #shotwell at that moment. We're also happy to answer
your email questions privately if you don't want to bother the mailing
list. Cheers -
adam
