Here is some feedback:

* A usability problem: when I've selected a leaf node inside the Events tree and I open the file menu;
then the "Publish Photos" and "Export Photos" are available. However, if I select a non-leaf node in the
event tree, then select a "photo" plus open the File menu; then the "Export Photos" and "Publish Photos"
are gone. At first this was a bit unclear to me but later I understood that in the latter case the specific
photo represents many images; i.e. all the photos under that non-leaf node in the event tree. So technically,
the behavior makes total sense; but it's confusing. I suggest you add some sort of clear visual cue in the UI
that makes it more obvious that a photo represents a "folder of photos". Also, one might ask why I cannot
select a non-left node in the event tree and legitimately select "Export photos"; after all I might want to
export or publish all the photos from a certain day of my vacation. I like the idea of having events and key
photos, it's just that the two different views (i.e. "View with actual photos" and "View of key photos
representing various events") looks too similar.

* If I select "Photos" and then open a specific photo and finally open the file menu; why can I
select Export but not Publish?

* After I have published a photo to flickr it currently says "The selected photos were successfully published".
One thing that came to mind at this point was that I wanted to know the URL to the photos, it could be nice
with one of those blue GTK http link labels at this dialog page in Shotwell. A link to "Recent Uploads" would
be a good choice imo.

* Why did you choose ] and [ as shortcut keys for zoom/unzoom? Those keys are very cumbersome to type
on a Swedish keyboard (it involves the nasty AltGr modifier key etc). Also, I find control plus and
control minus to be much more intuitive since those are used in many many other applications, including
for example web browsers.

* Why is it not possible to zoom/unzoom when a non-leaf node is selected in the event tree?

* In the "Extended Information" dialog every label is capitalized in the beginning of every word except
for one; "File size" (compared to "Camera Make", "Focal Length" etc). It looks a bit inconsistent.

* Why can I maximize the "Extended Information" dialog.
