Hello,
even importing has taken a lot of time,
now I can compare shotwell vs. f-spot with
"real data".
When i did massive imports of files some months ago,
this was somehow unrealistic for typical use, as that
test was importing a huge number of files from one directory and all those
files had same date.
So a filesystem issue might have added to the problem.
Now I have my f-spot stuf fimported into shotwell.
Shotwell is much more responsive.
It even llowed me to look at already imported pictures,
while doing the import of new files.
Now I have started f-spot to compare it, and f-spot is slower even
without a running import - just using it as is.
It does not even update it's gui at the moment, so
f-spot is really ugly.
So after doing a last backup of my f-spot dir (or
writing a small tool that shows me files that were
not imported by shotwell), I think I can throw away my f-spot
stuff completely then. :-)
I already convnced other people to use shotwell,
and now, late, I also migrate.
I think this is the right decision, even some issues are open
in shotwell.
Ciao,
Oliver
P.S.: Above I talked about the better responsiveness only,
but the better GUI and features (and keyboard driven usage)
are also a good plus.
P.S.S.: I did the import in a testing directory (/tmp) and hope,
no problems will occur, when I move all my stuff to my $HOME
...
