F-Spot should be multi-threaded.

[Ben James]

Binary package hint: f-spot

A number of F-Spot operations cause a heavy CPU load: importing images, adjusting sharpness, etc - these operations should be multi-threaded to better utilise multi-core CPUs.

Furthermore, the GUI thread should not itself perform any image manipulation - this would prevent nasty effects as seen in the attached screenshot.

thanks for the report, right that's needed, patches are welcome.

This should probably be pushed upstream to avoid languishing in a downstream bugtracker.

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

did anybody send it upstream at bugzilla.gnome.org? or should we close this report?

[Ben James (something-for-the-pain)]

I'll give it a day and open an upstream bug if no-one responds.

[Ben James (something-for-the-pain)]

Upstream (feature request) bug opened here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=579427

[Pedro Villavicencio (pedro)]

upstream bug was closed as invalid, doing the same with this one, if they reopen thebug then we'll do the same.
