[Shotwell] I intend to switch to Shotwell from Picasa, but ...

[paterijk]

Hi, 

Today I discovered one of the great new features of Shotwell 0.8 : watching
the photo library for updates ! 

I would really like to change to Shotwell (I'm currently using Picasa ...),
but I'm still missing two features : 

a) automatically save the changes made to a photo and store the original
version somewhere (ideally in a subdirectory of the original photo's
directory or side by side by renaming the original photo; the first option
being in my eyes better, as you can browse through your photos with other
softwares without having to look at "nearly-duplicates" all the time ...)
(http://shotwell.3510.www.nabble.com/Shotwell-storing-original-and-modified-photos-td4899.html); 

b) in the left pane, have the possibility to browse the folders on the disk
(my folders are linked to events, and I completely lose my organization if I
import everything into Shotwell, unless I recreate all the events manually)
(http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1594). 

I have read about both features in several posts (see above), but I wondered
if I could have an update on  the ongoing implementations of these features,
before turning away from Picasa (and maybe regretting my move) ...

Thanks a lot for your great work ! 

Patrick
