[Shotwell] Call for testing!

[Adam Dingle]

Vadim,

thanks for the quick feedback on the 0.4 branch build!

We've used custom icons only where we couldn't find system icons that 
seemed appropriate.  If you have specific suggestions for system icons 
we could use in place of custom icons, we're all ears.

You mean the Publish icon, I think.  True: that icon has visible jagged 
edges and could be improved.  I've ticketed this: 
http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1148
> - publish dialog buttons aren't the standard sizes, and are missing icons
>   
True.  I've filed tickets: http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1149 and 
http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1150 .  Adding button icons may be a 
relatively low priority for us because they seem to be deprecated in 
GNOME: in 2.28, the only way to enable button icons is via GConf.

When you click on a month, you see a list of all *events* in that month, 
not all pictures in that month.  Each event is represented by its key 
photo, and you can select which photo you'd like to be the key photo for 
each event.

Yes, it's confusing that the events view looks just like the Photos 
view.  This will probably change in 0.5 or 0.6.  I think that sooner or 
later we will show all photos for a given month when you click on that 
month, and photos will be grouped by event.

Thanks for sending the crash report in your subsequent message.  I've 
ticketed this as http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1147 .

Right, because this is actually a list of events as described above.

Thanks!
