Re: back to an old problem

[Matthieu Nguyen <nguyen matthieu gmail com>]

but that's the thing, f-spot shouldn't touch /etc/mono.conf. What if
an update to mono erases your mono.conf and the workaround you made?
:).
So it's great you found a workaround, but it's still just that, a
workaround. I have a feeling I found the bottom of the issue, but I am
not too eager to go to the lead dev saying "works on *my* machine" as
the only justification :D.
With regards to the 2.0 API version, I guess you are referring to:
https://github.com/mono/f-spot/pull/29 :)
