Hi, I have used shotwell during my vacation on my old laptop (i don't
use it frequently)
I have some point/bug to improve shotwell
Shotwell Version 0.12.3 on fedora 17 i686
- Shotwell re-import lot of already imported file if they are keeped on
the camera
Impacted by the fact i have edited a video file from by camera saved
as a new file then delete the original video (to cut the begin & end of
the video to reduce the file size).
I'm pretty sure it's here the problem because older (than the edited
video) pictures are still on my camera and them are not imported
again...
Exemple with one picture :
/home/roumano/Images/2012/06/27
[roumano@Laptop 27]$ ls -la IMG_0563*
-rw-rw-r--. 1 roumano roumano 7276685 29 juin 10:13 IMG_0563_1.JPG
-rw-rw-r--. 1 roumano roumano 7276685 29 juin 19:04 IMG_0563_2.JPG
-rw-rw-r--. 1 roumano roumano 7276685 1 juil. 20:18 IMG_0563_3.JPG
-rw-rw-r--. 1 roumano roumano 7276685 4 juil. 21:04 IMG_0563_4.JPG
-rw-rw-r--. 1 roumano roumano 7276684 27 juin 19:08 IMG_0563.JPG
[roumano@Laptop 27]$ md5sum IMG_0563*

7f3522c1c966297776fb0a4f01fb3edb IMG_0563_2.JPG
7f3522c1c966297776fb0a4f01fb3edb IMG_0563_3.JPG

Pictures IMG_0563_1 , IMG_0563_2 , IMG_0563_3 & IMG_0563_4 have not the
same md5sum as IMG_0563 as i note them as rejected on shotwell so they
share the same exif information ...
- View Rejected picture at start of shotwell
launch shotwell, select View/Filter Photos/All Photos
Stop & relaunch shotwell, shotwell will keeping the preferences of "all
photos" but we will also see rejected photos.
by-pass the problem : open the search bar (F8), rejected photos will
disapered automaticaly
> Can't reproduce it on my every-day machine
- Open with Shotwell when already run
If Shotwell is already start, when we plug the camera : the gnome dock
display 'open with shotwell'
Click on it, doesn't focus on shotwell as it's done when shotwell is not
yet started
> Can't reproduce it on my every-day machine as i don't use (yet) gnome3
- Battery use on laptop
On a laptop, the battery use is important
On my machine, shotwell apps like make arround 40 wakeup of the
processor via range_ns (hrtimer_wakeup)
PowerTOP v2.0 Overview Idle stats Frequency stats Device stats
Tunab
Summary: 80,5 wakeups/second, 0,0 GPU ops/second, 0,0 VFS ops/sec and
3,5% CPU
Usage Events/s Category Description
2,2 ms/s 40,3 Process shotwell
175,0 us/s 10,8 Interrupt [16]ehci_hcd:usb1
- After a Crop or straighten, note the picture via keybord shortcut ,
(like shift 2) we will see the original file (not the croped picture)
until we change the pictures, it's distribing
> I can't reproduce it on my PC, problem due to a very slow machine ?
- Crash of shotwell if it was importing from my camera then goes on
standby mode (after 10 minutes)
my laptop was automacitaly standby to save the battery. When poweron the
PC again, shotwell is no longer running (but other soft yes)
- During the import
Before importing picture from the camera, shotwell need to generate
thumbs of all picture in the camera :
- Use key on the import During the import
we can navigate on them via the keybord but when the generating of
thumb if finish, we can't longer navigate on picture as the focus is
automaticaly done on the left panel
- Speed-up the generating of thumbs from the camera
On my old laptop, It's a lite bite longer to generate thumb for lot of
pictures from my camera.
If the picture already existe on shotwell, it's possible to use thumb
already on the PC instend of re-generate it from the camera (to speed-up
the generating of thumb if picture was already imported) ?
