Thanks a lot Marcel for this quick improvement! After some works last night, I am thinking about the problem of all my old photos which are stored in existing folders named like: 2005\04\2005-04-02-Week-end with dad and mum 2005\03\2005-03-24-Argentina trip ... It's a pity because when Shotwell imported these photos, it splits the events which long more than one day (e.g. : week-end, trip,...) into separate events and lose the event name information. So I have to enter manually all the event's name again and relocate each picture to the correct event... I think Shotwell could be smarter and offer an *option to import folder as event*. It could be a check-box displayed when you choose to import some folders and, if it is enable, Shotwell will keep together all the photos which are in the same folder and will give to the events the same name than the folder's name. This would really be a great help to people which start to use Shotwell with an existing collection of photos organized in folders. Also it could help family which share some folders across user sessions because it will allow them not to create two times an event name for the same folder. What do you think of that idea?
Yes - I agree this could be quite useful. We have a ticket for this: http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2108 I hope we can implement this at some point.
