F-Spot 0.6.0 is not very old yet, but the team is working hard on a new release already. The main goal is addressing bugs left over here and there.
Some of the most annoying bugs were related to the slideshow. F-Spot has so far relied on the Tao library to render the animation of the, sometimes [...]
Some comments about F-Spot 0.6 release
Again, some time passed since last post. Job is taking more time than usual, causing my lazyness to overcome my will to write!
But anyway, here we are. In the meantime Gnome moved to git, and so F-Spot followed. This pleased a lot the main devs, which were already using it since time.
F-Spot have been [...]
Hi all. Long time since last words from here, but F-Spot is still alive and rocking! They’re just (very) busy times!
So, since the announcement of the plan for releasing 1.0 developers’ free time shrinked and shrinked… As of today the biggest improvement made to F-Spot since latest release is the port to gio, which will [...]
After the amazing 0.5.0 release, introducing some very cool features, three bugfix releases followed. From NEWS file:
released a workaround for a bug on gdk-pixbuf, causing errors on png files
fixed a huge memory leak in export to folder (and somewhere else also)
removed automatic database upgrade for md5 hash calculation
fixed a very bad bug in duplicate detection [...]
August is over, and this mean that also GSoC is over. F-Spot had three projects accepted! So, to resume:
RubenV’s new sidebar is already in SVN. Editors have been splitted too, even if they’re not yet pluggable as extensions they will probably be converted soon.
An extension point for adding custom pages to the sidebar has also [...]
Long time since last words, and SVN progressing very fast. It’s summer, but F-Spot hackers aren’t resting.
On the GSoC side:
rubenv has prepared a mockup of what the next editors interface could be. you can find an interesting video on his weblog.
wasja is constantly reporting progress on the color profile work, and soon some of his [...]
A new extension point has been recently introduced in F-Spot.
It’s named Service and will allow developers to introduce custom services for interfacing F-Spot with other programs.
A typical example is the Beagle Notifier, which has been moved out as extension. This addin can be used to understand how this new extension point work. Another example can [...]
Duplicate detection is one of the most requested features actually missing in F-Spot. The bug open for this request (#169646) is three years old, and a lot of people added their vote for this to get included.
Beside the fact that some should understand what an opensource voluntary project is and how it works, finally Thomas [...]
Recent F-Spot 0.4.4 introduced a dependency on gtk-sharp-2.12-2, due to changes in GNOME 2.22 which caused the CDExport not to work anymore.
Some people are having problems compiling the latest F-Spot due to this missing package.
Ubuntu Hardy users can add RubenV’s PPA repository and install the latest gtk-sharp2.
OpenSuSE users can find updated gtk-sharp2 [...]
