Comment 5 for bug 489620

Gnome bugzilla Bug 321596 has been open for over 4 years now. It is a show stopper for using f-spot. With the intention of increased reliance on f-spot now that gimp is being removed, this becomes a serious issue. I have been using gthumb to import and picasa to manage pictures for years because f-spot just had too many glitches. Is there any way upstream can be nudged along on this issue?

Since the default applications are being tweaked, maybe it's time to consider changing the default photo management application. Could digikam be modified to look like a gnome application and be used instead? I know it will work, but kde apps look "wrong" in a gnome environment.

Development in f-spot is stagnant, digikam seems to offer more features through plugins frequently. Rather then reinventing the wheel or trying to get the uncooperative f-spot maintainers to do something, perhaps having a gnome port of digikam would be the best solution.
