[Shotwell] Importing f-spot favourites

[Bruno Girin]

Hi Paul!

I'm glad you like Shotwell. The import form F-Spot handles favourites
by translating F-Spot favs to a 5-star rating in Shotwell. There is
currently no way to select all 5-star pictures but the ability to
filter against any meta-data (including rating) is on the roadmap as
it's an often requested feature: http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1587

Hierarchical tags are also on the roadmap: http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1401

And so is the ability to select photos based on location:
http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1473 or to geocode them using a map:
http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2570

Cheers,

Bruno
