Hey Jim, One of the main reasons that I am reading from the Shotwell database is that I need the event names and comments. I don't see where Shotwell currently exports that information. I would like to stop reading directly from Shotwell's database. I attached a sample page from one of my generated PDFs (assuming small attachments work to the list). The large text in the boxes is the event name. The date range is automatically added based on the date(s) of the photos in that event. The blurred text is the event comment. A large number of my events have comments associated with them so a lot of my pages turn out like this one. Brian On Tue, Aug 19, 2014 at 05:28:53PM -0700, Jim Nelson wrote:
Brian, this looks exciting and very promising. We always warn against other applications reading directly from the database, and as your notes indicate, you're using the unaltered versions of the photos in your application. There might be a better way to do this. If you made your app compatible with nautilus-sendto, Shotwell's File -> Send To... operation will export all the selected photos (with full transformations) and execute your app. That might make things easier for you. There's also some work being done to make elementary's Contractor work with Geary. If Shotwell supported Contractor, that would be another way for Shotwell to export its photos to your application. -- Jim On Tue, Aug 19, 2014 at 4:07 PM, Norbert Preining <preining logic at> wrote:Hi Brian, thanks for that, it looks very interesting. I will look into it and comment.
