F-Spot Addin Update: Finally the addin for Bibble 5!
1 comment Published 2010-07-26 in Photography, F-Spot, BibbleNews from my F-Spot addins, especially the workflow addins used to work with Bibble 4, Bibble 5 or other external RAW processor applications.
- New Addin: Develop in Bibble5 in your context menu
- Import Processed will import now your processed photos as new versions
You can find more information and where and how to get them on my F-Spot addin site. If you want to participate or have a look at the source code you can do so on Gitorious.
Follow-Ups:
That’s worth a blog post. The new F-Spot release is fixing the 3-4 year old datetime bug (see http://blog.wbou.de/ … -spots-time-problem/ and the links referenced there.)
Besides this, there are more news and life is coming again into F-Spot’s development. Ruben Vermeersch has taken over the maintenance from Stephane Delcroix.
You can follow the development on F-Spot’s Gitorious Site.
In the meantime, while this entry slept as draft here, F-Spot 0.7.1 was released. There are some problems with Nikon JPGs, so that for the moment it is unusable for me. But the direction looks promising.
Update on Branch fixing F-Spot’s Time Problem
Add a comment Published 2009-11-06 in F-Spot, Software, UsabilityAside from the fact that there is again a discussion around the time bug I updated my branch fixing this feature on gitorious.
To use it, just grap the sources and compile it.
git clone git://gitorious.org/~paulwb/f-spot/paulwbs-clone.git
As an alternative you can download the tarball linked on the gitorious page.
cd paulwbs-clone/ git checkout origin/ImportTimeHandling ./autogen.sh make sudo make install
Looking forward to have this fixed and working.
Update: Steve created a PPA for Ubuntu users which fixes this bug just as my branch is doing. And, for more information, the Ubuntu bug is here.
Short F-Spot Addins Update: Version Sidebar Bugfix and Core 0.7
Add a comment Published 2009-11-05 in F-Spot, PluginI committed and uploaded a bugfix for the Version Sidebar F-Spot Plugin. Version 0.6.4 fixes a bug affecting some other parts of F-Spot, too. The version sidebar is now clickable again.
By the way I branched the Addins and the master branch now depends on F-Spot’s core 0.7, which replaces Core with App.Instance.
Update: The tabbed sidebar is not working at the moment with 0.7 (git), due to a redesign in the f-spot source. I am still not sure how I redesign the tabbed sidebar code to get it work with the actual design or if the f-spot code will be changed again. 0.6 works fine.
See my F-Spot Addin page for more information.
Some more updates on the addins for F-Spot I wrote about lately.
Tabbed Sidebar
- Saves open sidebar page on changing between view mode and browser mode
Version Sidebar
- Fixed bug and crasher because of not using the correct id ranges in photo versions collection
You can find the source code as always on Gitorious, the extension url here:
http://purecodes.org/f-spot/0.6
Updates only available for 0.6.
Update on F-Spot 0.6 Addins: Bugfixes, Tabbed Sidebar as Addin
Add a comment Published 2009-07-14 in F-Spot, PluginSome updates on the addins for F-Spot I wrote about lately.
New Addin: Tabbed Sidebar
I announced that this wasn’t possible. Well, Ruben Vermeersch made the F-Spot Sidebar public, so that I can access it with a Service Addin. See my last post for a screenshot. This saves at least a click on each sidebar page change.
This is done using a service addin which accesses the F-Spot UI elements on startup. Restart F-Spot after installing this addin to to work.
Import Processed Files
- Fixed crash: API change in latest git 0.6
DateTime Format
- Added new config variable for long date display. F-Spot displays the date and the time, too, if the width of the thumbnails is wide enough. You can use this variables now:
gconftool-2 --type string \ --set "/apps/f-spot/ext/datetimeformat/shortdate" "yyyy-MM-dd" gconftool-2 --type string \ --set "/apps/f-spot/ext/datetimeformat/longtime" "HH:mm"
You have to restart F-Spot after installing this addin or changing the date patterns.
You can find the source code as always on Gitorious, the extension url here:
http://purecodes.org/f-spot/0.6
The addins for 0.5 did not change. The tabbed sidebar is not available for 0.5.
