Yaay! Way to go :)

If your pictures already in the photo library folder (usually
~/Pictures), these are only linked to without asking. Move your photos
to an other folder and import these from there, Shotwell asks if you
want to copy or link to the photos. Choose copy. Later you could delete
the folder you imported from, if the import was succesful.


> - rename picture name to YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS-####.pic format
There is a bugreport in trac.yorba.org about that. I unfortunately did
not find it.

> - tag and score pictures (storing that info on the picture exif header)
>From Edit → Preferences tick the option "Store metadata inside
files" (or similar)
