Hi all, I have some ideas for Google Summer of Code: * Wizard to create events from directory structure automatically.
I know that many users would like to have a tighter relationship between directories and events in Shotwell. I don't think we want a wizard that runs once; we want a system that keeps events and directories in sync automatically somehow. I don't think this is a good Summer of Code project because it will involve fundamental design decisions about the nature of events and the implementation will probably touch lots of places in the Shotwell code.
* Allowing to browse photos in directories like digiKam. The user can decide whether it prefer the event structure or folders.
We already have a partial implementation of this; see the diff attached to http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/1594#note-17. I don't think this is a great Summer of Code project because the core Yorba team is planning to complete this implementation soon anyway.
* Implementing Picasa's 24 new effects http://support.google.com/picasa/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=156342 . Some of them could be copied from digiKam.
Yes - more effects would be nice to have and could be a reasonable summer project. See
http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/1913 http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/1914
* Implementing Picasa's Side by side editing http://support.google.com/picasa/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=93773
I think that would be a challenging project, but might be achievable by a talented student in a summer. We'd need to work closely together to decide just how this would work. We should look at side-by-side editing in Picasa as well as other programs that support it (e.g. Lightroom).
