[Shotwell] Call for testing

Hi all,

I fixed this and committed to trunk.  My bad -- if you were running out of
trunk before Friday, we needed to upgrade your database by adding a column
that was introduced after 0.7.2.  But, if you were upgrading from 0.7.2, you
didn't have the table, so Shotwell can't add a column to it.  Makes sense in
hindsight.

To answer some of the other questions:

* No need to report compile warnings that come up (unless you see one that's
provably bad!).  These are due to the C code the Vala compiler generates and
generally have to do with const issues in C.  We're aware of this issue (as
is the Vala team).

* Shotwell will only write metadata to the master file (the file Shotwell is
managing) if "Write tags, titles, and other metadata to photo files" is
checked in Edit -> Preferences.  There's one other place it's possible: In
Photos -> Adjust Date and Time..., if you select "Modify original file".

Otherwise, no, we do not write to the master files.

* Vadim, is your library directory on a symlink or something else slightly
unusual?
