logical operators(and, or, nor, ...) for searching photos by combining tags in the "find bar"

At the moment, when searching for photos by multiple tags, the searches 
of the single tags are combined by "or". This works all right in the 
"include" case, but in the "exclude" case I guess it should be "and" by 
default.
Meaning that if I look for a photo of an animal that is neither cat nor 
dog, intuitively I would place the the tag "dog" and "cat" in the find 
bar and set them both to exclude. But now this just gives my all my 
photos, except of those showing a cat and a dog together. in other 
words: my holiday in Spain and the photos of last Christmas!
So the >> "not cat" or "not dog" << should be changed to >> "not cat" 
and "not dog" <<.
Right now I can´t think of a case where the "multiple exclude" search, 
as it is, would give a desirable result, but i guess there might be 
some, so maybe you should be able to chose.
Am I at least kind of right??
Thanks in advance
Daniel

Ubuntu Installation of 0.8.2 (the latest release)

Hello,
 First I have to say this is the most complicated install I have ever
attempted. The Requirements are stated, but there is no clear set of
packages to download ( I got stopped on gnome-keyring-sharp-1.0.0,
ndesk-dbus-0.6.0,ndeskdbus-glib-0.4.1, and libunique-dev, among others).
The README is vague enough as to be uninformative ("just go through the
normal autogen/configure stuff and then make install.") If you are not
used to this process, a descriptive sentence like "Briefly, the shell
commands `./configure; make; make install' should
configure, build, and install this package." really helps. All this
said, it should be clear that I WOULD like to install the latest version
of F-Spot on my system and even after the configure file finishes
successfully, I still get errors which prevent me from running the
program. Specifically the errors are :

./FSpot.Loaders/GdkImageLoader.cs(115,45): error CS1501: No overload for
method `Close' takes `1' arguments
/usr/lib/cli/gdk-sharp-2.0/gdk-sharp.dll (Location of the symbol related
to previous error)
./FSpot.Loaders/GdkImageLoader.cs(112,33): error CS0161:
`FSpot.Loaders.GdkImageLoader.Close()': not all code paths return a value

Can you help me with these?

Stephen

P.S. I found the commands below particularly helpful given that I was
trying to track down dependencies one at a time:
sudo apt-get build-dep f-spot
sudo apt-get install libunique-dev

Commands in Extensions in now translatable

Thanks to a patch from mike gorse recently the Commands in Extensions
( is translatable.  I'm not too familiar with how all of the
translation stuff works, but at the very least just wanted to drop a
note here.

For example,
in src/Extensions/Tools/FSpot.Tools.RetroactiveRoll/Resources/RetroactiveRoll.addin.xml

line:
<Command id = "RetroactiveRoll" _label = "Reassign to new import roll"
command_type = "FSpot.Tools.RetroactiveRoll.RetroactiveRoll"/>

_label can now be translated.  I think pt_BR is the only one that has
that string translated, but commented out right now.

Cheers,
Stephen

Query about deleting source image files

Hello.

I have a PTP camera; an Olympus SP-800 UZ.

My primary operating system and computer, runs Debian 5, on which I
cannot access the camera, much as I have tried. I have been able to
use and access digital cameras that use the "USB mass storage device
system" as I think it is named, without any problems, on that computer
and operating system platform.

However, to access the images on the camera, I have to use this
computer, which is running Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS , and, on top of that,
F-Spot 0.6.1.5 .

But, unlike the configuration that I use on the Debian 5 system with
the other cameras, in F-spot, I can not find a means of deleting the
images from the camera (the source image files), when I import
(upload)  them to the computer. I can not find how to do this, either
in the menu's in F-spot, or, in the Help or User Manual facilities in
F-spot.

So, the image files are accumulating on the camera.

F-spot, running on Ubuntu, as I have specified, is the only way that I
have been able to find, to access the images stored in the camera.

Is it possible, with F-spot, to delete the image files, when they are
imported /uploaded to a computer hard drive?

Thank you in anticipation.

TimeCorrection add-in, please have a look and comment :)

Hi,

I finally wrote my add-in for semi-automatically correcting photos'
times and posted a patch against the repository and a binary on my blog:
http://vollkorn.cryptobitch.de/index.php?/archives/133-TimeCorrection-add-in-for-f-spot.html

(check the .tar.gz for a short Readme)

It's quite alpha and I intend to polish it until it can get into the
f-spot git. So any feedback is welcome.

Thanks
Jan

How to go about missing assemblies? Delivering as DLL? Packing and adding to distro?

Hi,

I want to use zlib for my plugin, but there are no readily packaged Mono
bindings available. (or other readily available QR-Code readers for that
matter)

There is a github with working code available though:
https://github.com/jopsen/zbar-sharp

I think it's a not very elegant solution to deliver a compiled DLL with
the plugin, but I never packaged and/or maintained one and it seems a
little more work to get it accepted than I can put in it right now.

What do you think would be the easiest solution? Especially in regards
towards usability for the user (doesn't have to download source and
compile in order to get my plugin running)?

Thanks for your input
Jan

big problem

Hello.
   Can anyone tell me what the large circle symbol means.  It has
replaced many of my photos and I want to get rid of it.  Also, the
photos I downloaded today were on the screen but they disappeared
leaving only the day. I am fairly new at F-spotand I would greatly
appreciate any help.  Thank you.

Being honest about the development of f-spot

Greetings from your Debian and Ubuntu maintainer,

f-spot hasn't seen any substantive code commit for several months
now[0]. While development was rapid and exciting when Ruben took over,
this momentum has sadly stalled, and I think we'll all agree that
serious bug fixing and UI effort is needed. I have to admit that I've
been recently using Shotwell because the experience just feels nicer.

I've come to the upsetting conclusion that f-spot ought to be declared
dormant until a new maintainer comes along to lead the project. In
particular, without the prospect of bugs being looked at, I'd like to
stop shipping it in distribution releases. It's especially going to be
left behind with the migration to newer GNOME 3 technologies, not least
of which is GTK+3.

Do the developers agree?

Sad regards,
