Do you have a sequence of steps that makes this occur? If so you could file a bug (or just e-mail, that's fine too). We only write changes to disk when you "export" a photo. Did you try reverting all changes to the photo? Or if you just want to temporarily see the original photo, you can hold down the Shift key when the photo is open. > Also, when non-destructive editing is really possible with > shotwell, then saving the editing sequence, instead of the resulting > picture. > With the save eediting sequence, the editing could be done on the fly > from the src pic and with the recipe/editing sequence. > And much space would be saved too, because only the editing recipe must be > saved, > not the whole resulting filr (or files, if many). > Good news -- this is exactly what Shotwell does today! The bad news is you can't enable/disable individual steps in the transformation "recipe" or apply those changes in a batch to other photos. The second part isn't as straightforward as it sounds, since photos with different dimension and color profiles can't use the same underlying transformation data for certain types of transformations. - Eric _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
