Re: How dead is f-spot

[Stephen Shaw <sshaw decriptor com>]

I need to setup a new VM to test that out. I'm wondering if something has since been removed because import works on Ubuntu 15.10. I'm not up with all of the cool names that Ubuntu has :)

Cheers,

Stephen

Work on bringing F-Spot back to life is ongoing.

I'm currently working on building packages for Debian Stretch and Ubuntu Xenial. My most recent package is available in my PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~christopher-hoskin/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

Please note that this is NOT ready yet. Currently it crashes when you try to import pictures.

Development is happening on GitHub:

Discussion here:

I expect help would be welcomed!

I've converted to Shotwell.  With this version [0.22.0-1.4.x86_64] it
has worked well and the import was flawless.  Duplicate detection seems
effective, tags were preserved. and the library monitoring is really
nice.
