Re: Is F-spot similar to digikam? Both are photo managers.



Shotwell manages and displays stills and movies and may accommodate more image types.

f-spot is easier to use (imho) and I especially miss drag-the-tag or drag-the-pic(s) in f-spot now that I have converted to shotwell.  I used the no-longer-available converter.  30000 pics back then 50000 now.  I need to split the database.

If you know a sqlite guru, you can convert f-spot to shotwell (or shotwell to f-spot I think) and leave the pictures where they are.

Always back up everything.

I've built f-spot packages which allow f-spot to be installed on

This is done by forward porting the old unmaintained packages that
f-spot depends on.

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone not already using f-spot, but if
(like me) you have an existing f-spot database that you want to
continue working with then it works well enough.

Use at your own risk, and make sure you have good backups before installing.

I also liked f-spot since a long time ago, it was the default photo manager in Ubuntu (between 2005 and 2008 
?). Somewhere in 2012 it became increasingly difficult to install the latest released version (which was 
somewhere in 2010) on a modern linux distro (also see: 
https://kennywest.blogspot.com/2012/05/f-spot-dead.html). So when I installed my new PC, I switched to 
digikam. If you have an existing collection in f-spot, it should be fairly easy to migrate it to digikam.

Is Shotwell the better and emerging photo manager?
That is a personal decision, there are no absolute ansers.  I
personally still like F-Spot, but I would not recommend it now for a
new user, although there is some current development work going on, and
I hope it will return to a more active and supported status in the near
future.

To choose a photo manager, you really need to try it yourself, even if
only with a small number of photos.

They are similar. However I think Digikam is slightly heavier. I
would not use both on the same collection of pics because they might

Another photo manager is Shotwell; which I switched to from F-Spot
[as the GNOME .NET infra began to degrade], and it has [had?] an
F-Spot importer.

Good day from Singapore,



Is F-spot similar to digikam? Both are photo managers.



Can I install and try out both at the same time?



Thank you.
