Hi Philipp,
I'm not sure either of these are use-cases of a photo manager.
Importing based on file extension or only certain metadata of certain
photos sounds outside of the scope of what we're doing with Shotwell.
I'm *certain* that these are within the use-case of a photo manager.
I'd like to see an "advanced" button in the import window that allows
stuff like extension filtering.
I agree this would be useful. Indeed, we have an existing ticket for this:
http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/2623
A simple tickbox for "Remove existing tags" or something would allow one
to solve the 'overzealous friend' problem. I occasionally have this
problem with photos friends send me too.
This could also be useful. I've created a ticket here:
