Hello, 

with shotwell 0.11.6 I can't get the path of a 
picture. 

When using the option to open it with the file-manager, 
I got the result, that there is no program that could 
work on that file. 

What I'm looking for is, to get the path of the file, 
so that I may copy it with cp or open it with gimp or 
so. 

Do newer versions than 0.11.6 have this option, to give me the 
path to the file? 
If not, this would be a useful option. 

Oliver,

the Extended Information window (View->Extended Information) will show you the path of any photo.

Version 0.12 does have one new capability in this respect: when you choose Show in File Manager in 0.12, Nautilus (but not other file managers) will open a window showing the containing directory and will highlight the actual file. Â In previous versions, and when you use a file manager other than Nautilus, you see only the containing directory but the file itself is not highlighted.

If you want to open a photo in GIMP, there's no need to access the path explicitly; you can select GIMP as your external editor in Shotwell (Edit->Preferences->External Editors), then right click the photo and choose Open With External Editor.
