As a new Linux user, I've been dipping my toes in the water with various applications, trying to find the best way to make the transition from Windows.
My first attempt in the photographic side of things was with f-spot, which was distributed as part of the standard Lucid Lynx distribution, and which I'd used to import a few images from my camera. Something went wrong with f-spot last week, making it crash every time I pressed the import button, and after casting around for a solution for a while I eventually decided to drop it and use shotwell. Oddly enough, f-spot miraculously recovered yesteray, after an Ubuntu update, so I tried importing some scanned files into f-spot, which does pick up the date on which an image was scanned. However, any modification to a file changes the date that f-spot uses for indexing, which means that a film which has been scanned and processed in a single session will be scattered all over the timeline when the images are edited. Ideally, I'd like to keep all images and their edited versions together. Clearly I'm going to have to study EXIF carefully before making any large-scale changes to the metadata stored with my images! I'm planning to stick with shotwell! -- Date information not imported with jpg files of scanned negatives https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/644125 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
