The main advantage of events is that they're created automatically; the user doesn't have to take any actions, their photos just appear to be grouped magically.

Would that be closer to what you'd like? http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/3549 - Eric On Tue, Apr 26, 2011 at 12:26 PM, Vincent <[email protected]> wrote: > I should admit that I do not see the interest of the "events" vs > "directory". > > The advantages of directories are the following: > - it is a standard used by a lot of others applications (Picasa, Canon > Zoombrowser, Windows Live Gallery,...) > - even if I do not use a photo manager, your photos can be easely browsable > with any File-browser > - when I export them on a USB stick or CD/DVD or UbuntuOne, the folder > structure help me to find a particular photo/event quickly > - If I decided to leave Shotwell for another application (I can't imagine > but you never know ;-) ), I will keep all my folder structure which will > allow a smooth migration. > ... > > The advantages of the events in Shotwell are: > ? > > Anyone can help me to understand? > > -- > Vincent > _______________________________________________ > Shotwell mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell > _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
