I agree that this is a potential usability problem. I myself got confused by this a week or two ago when I had Only Favorites checked and it took me a little while to figure out why newly imported photos weren't being displayed. > It would be really cool if Shotwell could display some hint, either just > in such situations, or describing the effect of settings (e.g., the > number of photos not displayed or something). That's a reasonable idea. Another possibility might be to clear Only Favorites every time Shotwell starts up since I think the user is most likely to be confused if that setting is set on startup. We'll think about this more and hopefully make some kind of change for 0.5. adam <div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Dec 27, 2009 at 8:15 AM, Ingo Lütkebohle <<a href="mailto:iluetkeb@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de">iluetkeb@techfak.uni-bielefeld.de</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Hi, when my current display settings (such as "Only Favorites") match nothing in the current event, nothing is displayed. While this is obviously correct behavior, it can be confusing, for example, when I have left on the settings from the last session and do not remember that they are on. It would be really cool if Shotwell could display some hint, either just in such situations, or describing the effect of settings (e.g., the number of photos not displayed or something). cheers, Ingo _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list <a href="mailto:Shotwell@lists.yorba.org">Shotwell@lists.yorba.org</a> <a href="http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell" target="_blank">http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell</a> </blockquote></div>
