Comment 15 for bug 545871

It would be desirable to document what usage the Event and Tags fields have. Right now, I was under the assumption that they could be used e.g. as a variable to affect part of the folder name but, seeing the above, it appears that it only affects the catalog feature's own keyword database. Personally, I don't like the fact that every import is automatically added to the catalog, because it slows down operation significantly. Also, it's a pretty useless feature if/when someone has to move folders or individual pictures around, because the catalog then loses track of the files.

Also, as I noticed, the file and folder rename feature is broken. It retains part of the original filename, even if it was partially replaced. Sometimes, it also simply refuses to let me rename a folder.

For those migrating from older releases, the import feature should have an option called something like "use the old gThumb folder naming convention" that can be checked. Alternately, an exact combination of variables should be documented in the Yelp manual for gThumb to enable users to program the custom folder into delivering exactly the same folder naming that was used until 2.10.
