Re: automatically copying the photos over

[Robert Havens <fspotlist silvertalon net>]

I'd like to chime in with these two bits about how I'm using F-Spot:

rc/gconf/whatever:  Just don't take away the ability to specify what 
library to open from the command line.  I now have three very separate 
libraries that I'm opening from different .desktop files.  Just pointing 
out that it's not just about specifying where your library is, but 
perhaps also which one you want to open this time.

About F-Spot copying photos into a managed place:   I typically create a 
temp folder on my desktop that I fill with photos, sometimes process 
them, then import into F-Spot.  F-Spot copies them into a backed-up nfs 
share where, if I ever need to, I can access them directly.  I don't 
need to manage folder names or worry about collisions.  I'm happy with 
it copying them.  So, choice is good, and I'm glad this is an option.


And finally, F-Spot is doing a wonderful job of helping me organize my 
photos, and I really appreciate the hard work that the developers have 
put into it.
