Re: How dead is f-spot

[Stephen Shaw <sshaw decriptor com>]

At one point I tried to go through and fix a bunch of crashers and general improvement. We are starting to do a bit more with f-spot and hoping to get a release out at some point in the near-ish future. Most of the work has been stability and improvements and not very much on new features. If you want to try f-spot again and want to file any issues on github.com/mono/f-spot we can try and fix them. We also hang out on gitter.im/mono/f-spot

Cheers,

Stephen

Sorry to tell you, that you are converting from one dead project to
another :-)
Yorba (the company behind Shotwell) has not been working on it since
about one year ago, and the project only receives few bugfixes
contributed by the community or downstream distributions.
Bugs filed on the project are left pretty much unanswered.

That's my experience too. I reluctantly abandoned f-spot - not due to lack of features but lack of stability. I liked it a lot. shotwell is ok but has some enormously frustrating limitations. I came across a favourite again yesterday: Browsing a selection of images and want to remove a particular tag from the selected images. Can't be done. I'd be prepared to go through a bit of pain to go back to f-spot if it was stable. It had all the basic features I needed as a photo management system.
