[Shotwell] Shotwell 0.11: Call for Testing

[Lucas Beeler]

Hi Marius,

This is symptomatic of a larger problem, which is that the "Modify
Tags" dialog should show only terminal tags, since tagging a photo
with a terminal tag implicitly tags it with all of the tag's parents
as well. For example, If you had the following tag tree:

+ People
    - Jim
    - Marcus
    - Toby
+ Places
    - Versailles
    - Paris

and you had a photo of Marcus and Toby in Versailles, you'd tag that
photo with "Marcus", "Toby" and "Versailles." What's more, when you
added those tags, "People" would be added implicitly and "Places"
would be added implicitly. So the photo would now have 5 tags:

People, Places, Marcus, Toby, Versailles

Of these 5 tags, only 3 are terminal (Marcus, Toby, and Versailles);
the other two are implicit. However, I just performed this exact
experiment in Shotwell and found that the "Modify Tags" dialog does
show all 5 tags, which is a bug. Why you're seeing apparently random
subsets of tags, both terminal and non-terminal, in the "Modify Tags"
dialog, I can't say. But I do think your problem would likely go away
if we fixed the terminal tags issue. I've ticketed that issue here:
http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/4024.

I'm hoping we can get this problem fixed for the next bugfix
dot-release of Shotwell!

Take care,
Lucas
