Thank you for all of the feedback! I wrote a DAAP plugin for Totem last week. When I submitted it, the Totem folks introduced me to Grilo. Grilo provides a consistent interface to various media sharing protocols (e.g., YouTube and DLNA). I am now working on a DMAP plugin for Grilo. If we added Grilo support to Shotwell, then we would get access to many sharing protocols instead of just one at a time. Grilo looks promising, especially from a code reuse point of view. -- Mike :wq From eduardo.molina at ciemat.es Wed Jun 1 10:52:49 2011 From: eduardo.molina at ciemat.es (Eduardo Molina) Date: Wed, 01 Jun 2011 12:52:49 +0200 Subject: [Shotwell] Problem uploading to flickr Message-ID: <18530_1306925569_4DE61A01_18530_2672_1_1306925569.1852.4.camel@cmt2486> Hello, I'm using Shotwell 0.7.2 on Ubuntu 10.10.

This week I've continued working on the interface of the new Positional Tags tool, and I think that I already have something very functional and stable. But this tool it's only an interface now, I mean, it doesn't touch the database so the changes are not recorded. This is because I have some doubts and ideas I must discuss with my mentor, for example how to modify the database and how to integrate the current tagging system and the new functionality. I thought that this week I would have this first step of the project complete, but that discussion will take some time so I'm working on testing and improving the code. There is no available code yet --it think it will be soon-- but you can see a screenshot of that I can see in my copy of Shotwell here: http://trac.yorba.org/wiki/SummerOfCodePositionalTags#Screenshot . Next week I'll continue working on it and it should be finished so I'll can start playing with OpenCV and facial detection. Cheers!

Today, Shotwell always develops all RAW photos at import time. As many of you have pointed out, this can be slow and use lots of disk space. In the near term, we'd like to make Shotwell more flexible by (a) giving you the option for Shotwell to use embedded or paired JPEG images instead of developing RAW files directly (b) possibly deferring developing RAW photos until they are used In the longer term, we want to to integrate Shotwell's adjustments into the RAW pipeline so that you'll be able to use Shotwell to control RAW developing directly (just like in programs such as UFRaw today). That probably won't happen for a few releases, though. We'd like to get some feedback from our users about RAW support in Shotwell to help us prioritize our development efforts. If you'd like to participate in this survey, please email your response to me directly. I'll summarize the results to this mailing list sometime next week. Please respond only if you use (or plan to use) Shotwell with RAW photographs at least some of the time. 1. What kind of camera do you have? 2. When you shoot RAW, do you usually shoot RAW+JPEG, or RAW only? 3. What photo resolution do you shoot? If possible, can you tell us the resolution of the JPEG images which your camera embeds in RAW photos? (You can find out by running 'exiv2 -pp' on a photo, for example.) 4. Generally speaking, how does Shotwell's default rendering of your RAW photographs compare today with the JPEG images/previews generated by your camera? Please respond with one of the following: much better, better, about the same, worse, much worse, unusably bad. If Shotwell's rendering is poor, can you describe in a few words how it looks worse (e.g. distortion? color shift? underexposed appearance?) 5. Suppose that Shotwell offered one or more of the following modes. Which would you use by default? a) Shotwell develops all RAW photos at import time. (This is how Shotwell works today.) b) Shotwell develops RAW photos only when you first open them. This would speed importing and save disk space, but might add a delay of several seconds before you could edit or zoom into a RAW photo after first opening it. c) Shotwell stores RAW+JPEG pairs as a single unit, and uses the JPEG for rendering. d) Shotwell renders a RAW photo using the JPEG embedded inside it. 6. With options (c) and (d) above, Shotwell could let you switch to a RAW rendering for individual photos (and Shotwell would develop the RAW photos only at that time.) Similarly, with options (a) and (b), Shotwell could let you switch individual photos to render using an embedded or paired JPEG. How often do you think you'd use this switching feature? 7. Any other ideas or comments? adam From eric at yorba.org Sat Jun 4 00:13:23 2011 From: eric at yorba.org (Eric Gregory) Date: Fri, 3 Jun 2011 17:13:23 -0700 Subject: [Shotwell] Shotwell 0.10.1 released Message-ID: Yorba has released version 0.10.1 of Shotwell, an update to our digital photo organizer.

It was easier then I thought, I'm already able to playback slideshows using Clutter with some very smooth fade transitions. I added some basic buttons using Mx and tried to style them, but it didnt worked, so they look kind of ugly. Not sure if a dependency on Mx is required or even desired. Although it makes some things easier. However, switching to Clutter means adding one more dependency to Shotwell (something we can make optional) but also requires the use of a recent graphics card (as far as I know, the Intel ones which are the most popular these days is enough). So I probably need some plan for the fallback, but I don't like having different codes for the same thing (especially transitions). I also had time to play with transition effects. The current architecture won't serve if we switch to Clutter, because it's based on Cairo. And I was thinking about something with room to expansion. I got inspired by Animoto to start thinking about a system where two or more pictures can appear at once at the screen and the transition plugin would define a path for each, with some kind of effect. This would allow for effects like those on Animoto and I believe won't be so hard if done using Clutter's animation framework. Well, I need to put this on paper to examine the possibilites. Plans for next week: investigate fallback mode (talk to my mentor about this) and prototype transition effects API. Side tasks: update wiki and publish code so far. *Alexandre Rosenfeld* From adam at yorba.org Mon Jun 6 15:12:45 2011 From: adam at yorba.org (Adam Dingle) Date: Mon, 06 Jun 2011 08:12:45 -0700 Subject: [Shotwell] re-create mimics and thumbs In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <4DECEE6D.4050507@yorba.org> Maximilian, On 06/04/2011 09:16 AM, Maximilian Bl?mer wrote: > Hi there, > > i've moved my photos to a different pc along with the photo.db but not > the mimics and thumbs folder.

I think you may have to reimport into a new Shotwell database, in which case you will lose your edits (but not your tags, assuming you've enabled the option to write metadata to photo files). We recognize that this is a serious limitation and hope to fix this for 0.11: http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2889 adam From dago.pacheco at gmail.com Mon Jun 6 16:17:37 2011 From: dago.pacheco at gmail.com (Dago Pacheco) Date: Mon, 6 Jun 2011 12:17:37 -0400 Subject: [Shotwell] re-create mimics and thumbs In-Reply-To: <4DECEE6D.4050507@yorba.org> References: <4DECEE6D.4050507@yorba.org> Message-ID: Maximilian.... I have recently perform a migration from different user accounts (which should apply for you too). These are the steps: 1. Copy the hole .shotwell hidden folder to the final destination (profile folder for your new profile in your new pc) 2. Start Shotwell. It should show the event and tag tree and thumbnails, but every pic should be set as missing. 3. Close Shotwell and copy your hole library folder to your final destination. i usually mantain the same relative location, for example, I usually keep my library folder in "/home/user1/Im?genes/Fotos" and move to "/home/user2/Im?genes/Fotos". If you wish to change this location, It should be done in step 2, before closing shotwell. Also make sure that the "watch library" option is set in the "preferences" window. 4. Start Shotwell and it should start updating your library. After finished all events, tags and editions should be kept. Hope this work for you. I have done this about three times with no problem. 2011/6/6 Adam Dingle > Maximilian, > > > On 06/04/2011 09:16 AM, Maximilian Bl?mer wrote: > >> Hi there, >> >> i've moved my photos to a different pc along with the photo.db but not >> the mimics and thumbs folder.

Great idea to have some sort of 'version management' within a picture. I would use it provided that the images don't look underexposed, but it also depends on the possible raw-specific enhancements that I would be able to make within Shotwell. I'm not sure if that's the ambition, though. > 7. Any other ideas or comments? Right now I use RawStudio (easy batch conversion) and Photivo (more features/control) in combination with Shotwell. Perhaps a 'unit' as mentioned in Q5c could be made such that it also groups other conversions of a raw image (e.g. I convert img_6354.cr2 externally to img_6354_1.jpg, sometimes another one with _2). It can also hold the version with Shotwell's native adjustments or gimp-edited pictures (I think Shotwell makes a copy adding _modified to the file name which it sends to gimp/external editor). Grouping could be done automatically (e.g. same file name base) or manually (e.g. differently exposed images for HDR have different names, which I would group under the actual HDR). The switching mechanism from Q6 can then be used to switch between the RAW, the original JPEG, and different conversions of the RAW.

I think I gave it a fair try working with exclusively for about 2 months while publishing pictures daily to my blog. However, it is precisely poor RAW handling that is making me go back to Adobe Lightroom for more "serious" work even if I have to boot in Windows just for that (serious here means requiring more time or care, I'm not a pro). I'll still use Shotwell for JPGs in Linux. Anyway, here are my answers to the survey: 1. What kind of camera do you have? Canon Digital Rebel XT > > 2.

Any other ideas or comments? Actually the most annoying thing I see with Shotwell is how long it takes to do an import of RAW files. Compared with Adobe Lightroom it is ridiculous, I'd say it's several times slower. Also, at least for my taste, it is absolutely necessary that Shotwell really integrates with UFRaw: if I change something in UFRaw it should be reflected in Shotwell and viceverza, including cropping and straightening pictures. Hope this helps. Thanks and keep up the good work. Rafael.

[NOTE: You can see a Spanish version of this mail in my personal blog, http://sanva.net/blog/96/ ] One more week working on the first step of my project: write an usable interface for the Faces Tool. This week I've been working in the new classes that will make that interface work with the database, i.e. saving changes done with it. But I think that I will spend the next one doing the same task ?but now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. This first step is being larger than I thought and I have a delay of one week (and will be two weeks next weekend) but there is no problem yet because I had kept a buffer of two weeks in my initial timeline to prevent this kind of delay. So, no problem yet but I'll have to work harder from now. In the last report I linked a screenshot of the interface, now you can see a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9NwFyrH5PM Also, this week there was a change in the naming convention for the project. Instead of Positional Tags, the new tool will be called Faces ?In documentation, in classes and objects in the source code and in the interface. Even with the counterpart of loosing the tool's generality ["using a feature called ?Faces? to mark regions of lens flare seems counterintuitive, for example" ?Lucas Beeler] Yorba team have decided that because this way the tool will be more concrete and more easy to understand. Again in words of Lucas Beeler (my primary mentor for this project and Shotwell's technical lead): We think this sacrifice is worth it, however, because ?Faces? is a more > concrete concept in the mind of consumer-level users and will therefore be > more easily understood. > By the way, this have contributed to my delay, since I have to build a new infrastructure instead of adapting the Tags one. Nevertheless, I'll continue naming these weekly reports with the old nomenclature so this way they will be more easy to track by GNOME people. Cheers!

I saw the Lightroom plugin which is why I assume there is some sort of API but like you I couldn't find any reference to it on the web site. I suspect it would be a case of asking the question in the Zenphoto forums.

This week I finally updated the wiki: https://live.gnome.org/AlexandreRosenfeld_Shotwell_Slideshow and I added the code so far to Gitorious:https://gitorious.org/alexandre-rosenfeld-gsoc-2011 Talked to my mentor and I do not have to implement any fallback mode, so I can concentrate on the Clutter side of things. This week unfortunately I haven't coded too much so I still don't have a clear idea of the transition effects API. I plan to implement a few effects this week so that I can actually have an API by next week. Also talked to my mentor about the Mx dependency and unless we have a good reason for it, it's better to use Clutter directly. So I started writing a simple toolbar using Clutter that gets the icons from Gtk. In only a few lines I already have a non-functional but quite pretty toolbar. However, I realized that Mx might be useful for doing some cool transparent settings dialogs. I don't think I should focus too much time on that now, however, so I might implement it as an optional feature in the future if I have the time. Plans for next week: implement a few transition effects to work out an API, have the basic controls working and put the settings dialog at use again. *Alexandre Rosenfeld* From brunogirin at gmail.com Tue Jun 14 19:50:05 2011 From: brunogirin at gmail.com (Bruno Girin) Date: Tue, 14 Jun 2011 20:50:05 +0100 Subject: [Shotwell] Piwigo plugin - Apostrophe in the title field gives an error In-Reply-To: <4DF684A1.8030507@gmail.com> References: <4DF684A1.8030507@gmail.com> Message-ID: <1308081005.1920.3.camel@nuuk> On Mon, 2011-06-13 at 23:44 +0200, Thierry Le Guillou wrote: > Hi all, > the Piwigo publishing plugin works very nicely now, even with french > accentuated characters in the title of the picture. > But I have got "HTTP status code 405 Method Not Allowed" > when there is an apostrophe in the title like : Samsara's team > > I have got the log file if necessary. > Thierry > Thierry, I can confirm the bug and have opened a ticket: http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/3753 And I think I know what the reason is so will have a look straight away.

I hand pick these photos, so this is not easily doable with a dynamic search. I think these static collections are a bit different than tags btw, as tags typically (and will hopefully soon) represent a hierarchy and are part of the metadata. These collections would never be written out to the file in metadata. Your static playlists are so similar to tags that we're a bit reluctant to introduce them as a separate entity in Shotwell.

Responses to this question fell into 3 categories: full-size embedded JPEGs (10-18 megapixels): 5 users screen-size embedded JPEGs (1.5-3.5 megapixels): 5 users thumbnail-size embeddd JPEGs (about 0.2 megapixels): 2 users (Nikon D80/D90 cameras) This was interesting. Almost every camera embeds JPEGs which are at least screen size, which are good enough for many uses (e.g. casual editing and uploading to sites like Facebook). Something like half of cameras embed JPEGs which are as large as the RAW images themselves. > > 4.

Numerous users pointed out that they want to be able to develop using an external RAW editor, and then have Shotwell display the resulting image. This is an alternative to modes (a)-(d) listed above. OK - so those are the survey results. With these results in mind, we're planning to make some improvements to Shotwell's RAW handling for 0.11. Here's our current plan. RAW and JPEG photos with the same filename prefix will now appear as a single photo in Shotwell and will be treated as a single unit. You'll be able to right click on any RAW photo and choose any of several rendering modes: 1. render using libraw (as Shotwell does today) 2. render using paired JPEG (if one is present) 3. render using embedded JPEG 4. render using external RAW editor If you choose to render using an external editor, then Shotwell will launch your editor of choice on the RAW file. In the external editor, you'll make any desired adjustments and then save as a JPEG. Shotwell will notice that JPEG and automatically associate it with the RAW file. Furthermore, there will be a boolean option which lets you decide whether Shotwell should develop RAW photos by default: - If true, then Shotwell will use libraw rendering (1) for newly imported photos, just like today. - If false, then Shotwell will not develop your RAW photos at import time. This will greatly speed importing and will cause Shotwell not to create mimic files, which will save disk space. Shotwell will initially render photos using a paired JPEG (2) if present, otherwise using an embedded JPEG (3). One further detail: when you render using an external editor, we don't want to clobber the paired JPEG if one is present. Suppose that a RAW photo is called PHOT001.CR2 and has a paired PHOT001.JPG. When launching your external RAW editor, Shotwell will create a symbolic link PHOT001_EXT.CR2 pointing to PHOT001.CR2, and will launch the external RAW editor on that symbolic link. So when you save as a JPEG, you'll end up with PHOT001_EXT.JPG, which is separate from the paired PHOT001.JPEG. Using the context menu in Shotwell, you'll be able to switch between the paired and external renderings. That's the general plan. We're still not sure whether we'll be able to implement all of 1-4 above for 0.11, but we're going to try.

Shotwell skips hash duplicates, but if the originals were modified (e.g. resized) you could leave out the Originals folder (by moving it elsewhere or selecting the folders around it) during import.

It takes the icons from the Gtk theme, which is good for fitting the desktop, but is not so good looking depending on the theme you are using. It will be ok for now, but maybe I can have some custom made graphics which would look nicer. I implemented two effects as separate classes and realized I have a lot of issues to solve if I want to implement more advanced effects. My idea for now is to implement effects as an interface with signals and methods. The thing is that advanced effects would need more control over a lot of things that are managed by the slideshow page for now. So things like the timer and how to get the next image will need to be accessed by the effect class. I like the idea of using Clutter and it's animation framework, so I can move more funcionality into effects while not increasing the complexity of the current code, because Clutter can handle a lot of what I need. Another thing I did this week is that I completely changed the settings dialog, now it includes tabs for Themes, Music and Settings. Themes is not working currently. For some reason I can't embed more the one Clutter stage in Shotwell, but it works fine outside Shotwell. Showing live previews of the effects would probably be too slow, but I don't want still previews provided by the effects since we would need to change all of them if we changed the dialog. So I'm thinking about drawing them in a offscreen texture and showing that in the dialog. Music is a list of songs to play in the background, all the UI actions are working. It still needs to save the settings and I need to implement the actual player. Settings is the old settings controls, which right now only includes the time to show each photo. The transition delay won't exist anymore, it will depend on the theme. I had some issues with the open source driver for my Radeon (Unity can't login more then half the time) and switched to the proprietary driver, but then I got even worse results with the slideshow. A lot of the textures don't load correctly and after a while I was getting a blank window as the Clutter stage. So I need to investigate this and check if it's anything I can improve in the code. For next week I want to implement background music and some advanced effects. *Alexandre Rosenfeld* From valentin at sanva.net Tue Jun 21 13:52:11 2011 From: valentin at sanva.net (=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Valent=EDn?=) Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2011 15:52:11 +0200 Subject: [Shotwell] Adding Positional Tags to Shotwell: Weekly Report 04 Message-ID: Hello!

Last week I've continued implementing the Faces tool, and now I have it working well with the database, so now is possible to view and modify faces in photos without problem.

This was actually pretty cool to implement and I loved the end result. I first wrote a playlist editor in the settings dialog last week and this week I started writing some code to save and load the playlist, when I had the idea to integrate with Banshee playlists. After a few UI iterations, I ended up with the one from the screenshot attached (for the Shotwell list, here is a link: http://img121.imageshack.us/i/settings003.png/). So now it supports a custom playlist that can be edited by the user and several sources of music, which right now only Banshee is implemented. The whole system is quite simple and can be easily extended to other players. In fact, the custom playlist is just another source which saves and loads from a XSPF playlist in the user's directory. This also opens up the possibility to a few more refinement features, like playing the slideshow for the time of the playlist. What is missing is to save which playlist was selected, so right now you need to open the settings dialog and close it again to be able to play music in the slideshow. And what I found really cool to implement, because you can't really change a Banshee playlist in the UI, you have to do it from Banshee itself, you can drag and drop songs from a Banshee playlist to your custom playlist, so you can then add, remove and rearrange songs. Also talking to my mentor it seems the effects API is not available in the Maverick version of Clutter, so I must take it into consideration when writing the transition effects, which I plan to extend it a bit more this week. *Next week tasks:* iron out a few more missing things in the background music feature and extend the transitions available.

Indeed. If you read through the details of the ticket, you'll see that it has a milestone of 0.11, which means that the Yorba team intend to deliver it in the next version.

It seems that facebook not only bans the app, it also deletes all user content that was uploaded by the app. There is an informative bug report open at KDE and I would suggest the Shotwell devs compare notes to make sure that our content uploaded through Shotwell does not get deleted for the same reason. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=276609 From eric at yorba.org Tue Jun 28 18:28:40 2011 From: eric at yorba.org (Eric Gregory) Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2011 11:28:40 -0700 Subject: [Shotwell] Facebook ban In-Reply-To: <201106281037.54337.rsimmons0@gmail.com> References: <201106281037.54337.rsimmons0@gmail.com> Message-ID: On Tue, Jun 28, 2011 at 7:37 AM, Robert Simmons wrote: > It seems that there is a conflict with the handling of the facebook photo > upload API key in certain open source software.

From the sound of things, they got a bit overzealous with spam prevention and blacklisted too many apps by accident. More details on this forum post: http://forum.developers.facebook.net/viewtopic.php?pid=355340#p355340 Do let us know if you experience any issues uploading to Facebook from Shotwell. I bookmarked their "disabled app appeal" page just in case. - Eric From mateusz at loskot.net Thu Jun 30 00:22:11 2011 From: mateusz at loskot.net (Mateusz Loskot) Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2011 01:22:11 +0100 Subject: [Shotwell] Trac login issue Message-ID: <4E0BC1B3.6010508@loskot.net> Folks, I'm trying to login to the Trac and getting timeout.

What's the error you're seeing? Works now. Must be temp network issue. Cheers, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net Charter Member of OSGeo, http://osgeo.org Member of ACCU, http://accu.org
