<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>
<PRE>
Mattias,
I'm glad you like Shotwell so far! Thanks for your many suggestions.
Here's some feedback:
> 1. Quite a number of keyboards and mouses have back and forward buttons,
> which are mostly useful for browsing web. These keys could be used in

It's a good idea to support the mouse back/forward buttons in some way.
We could either (a) make these buttons equivalent to the Previous Photo
and Next Photo buttons in full-window mode, or (b) use them to navigate
through the history of pages recently viewed. With (b), the back button
might take you to the previous viewed event, for example. Are you
suggesting (b) rather than (a)?
</PRE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
I would prefer b (back/forward for moving in history), with some additional features. It could be <BR>
called "Navimouse enabled" or something <IMG SRC="cid:1260235856.21384.395.camel@antiloop" ALIGN="middle" ALT=":)" BORDER="0"><BR>

Some actions not covered in current proposal:<BR>
Quit, Rotate, 1:1 Scale, Fit, Delete, Mark<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Usually mouse gestures need to be dragged, but why not to try clickless gestures (polling mouse position will cause a waste of battery life and resources).<BR>
<BR>
Possible gestures without pressing a button:<BR>
„Shake“ (quick left, right, left, right movement, >200px wide, within 500ms) to delete or to send to temporary Lightbox alike recycle bin, which is shown in normal mode as „Images marked for deletion“.<BR>
„Nod“ (moderate speed movement >150px down and up again to the same position (closer than 50px) to mark a picture as starred to send it to Lightbox for further actions.<BR>
„Clockwise“ (movement resembling a clockwise drawn circle with 100px radius or more) to rotate image CW.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
BTW, these Back forward buttons are actually keyboard keys, which simply happen to be on mouses, similar keys on keyboard produce the same events: XF86Back and XF86Forward.<BR>

I believe you're asking for the following:
Page Up/Down = go to previous/next photo in full-window mode (just like
left arrow)
</PRE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
Just like left/right arrows.<BR>
<BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>
<PRE>
Ctrl+Page Up/Down = go to previous/next event (in full-window mode? or
even in the Photos view?)
Is this correct?
</PRE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
Why not in both views and even in slideshow mode, for consistency, <BR>
since by far there is no better use for these shortcuts.<BR>

This seems like a reasonable idea. I've filed a ticket for this
(<A HREF="http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1080">http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1080</A> ). This should be easy, so we might
implement this for 0.4.

I suppose we could allow that, though I don't imagine users would need
this too often. Are you suggesting that we implement this with a
toolbar button, or with a key command?

It depends.. If fullscreen isn't that different from slideshow in terms of editing capabilities and <BR>
and informational boxes (which I would love, it could resemble some of flash galleries used in <BR>
web), these should be unified and then the only difference could be play/pause and stop <BR>
buttons. Pressing play could hide all the other boxes, until stop (not pause) is pressed.<BR>

When you say "it is a little hard to snap from current 12 px area", do
you mean that in Shotwell the user must crop by moving the mouse into a
12-pixel area near the crop rectangle, and that that area is too small?
I've never found the Shotwell interface to be hard to use, but I suppose
we could make that area a bit larger like in Gimp.

Why not to make it 1/4 of the height (width), but >12px?<BR>

Yes - we've always intended to implement slideshow transitions at some
point. We'd like to offer the user a choice of transition effects, and
I agree we probably don't need to make this too fancy. I've just filed
a ticket for this feature (<A HREF="http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1081">http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1081</A> ). It
won't make 0.4, but will happen some time next year.
