My thought : from a picture viewer, I expect : - open a picture by double-clicking on it and then browse others in the same folder with next/prev - zoom and slideshow - rotate the picture and save it (which is not perfect in gthumb, I admit) - croping/resizing - brightness/contrast
Last time I tried f-spot, it was really a pain because there was no way to simply do that ! I had first to import a picture folder. then all pictures were displayed (I only wanted a given folder) then most of my pictures were set with in year 1970 (because they are not specially from a digital camera) and so on. I also never fully understanded a lot of things so I cannot imagine how it would be for regular joe user who only put pictures from his camera to his desktop and want to display them. Gthumb is not the best but is still the less worst for me. F-spot is not, IMHO, in the gnome spirit. I don't want to "import" things. I'dont say that f-spot is bad. I can say that it doesn't meet my needs at all and I believe (but I may be wrong) that it's not intended as part of a default installation for a regular user. "flickr integration and tags" sounds like geeky features to me. "timelining" might be nice but I really believe that most people have one folder by event and that there's too much mistagged pictures in the current ecosystem.

Hey all, Time to start yet another discussion. Hopefully this will not go offtopic as badly my last one did. Anyway, I think we should ship fspot in place of gthumb. Advantages: 1. Fspot has some nice features, like flickr integration, timelining and tags 2. Fspot is actively developed, gthumb is dead 3. Fspot is likely to become part of gnome (although not by the edgy cycle, as the author has not proposed it Disadvantages: 1. Fspot brings in mono, with all that that implies. Mostly it is a space issue 2. Data migration from gthumb currently does not exist (although Larry Ewing, author of Fspot has said he has a patch and that should be in a stable version during the edgy cycle) Thoughts?
