Good afternoon, one and all,
We’re pleased to announce the release of Shotwell 0.13.1. We recommend that all users upgrade to this version.
Among the fixes in this release:
- Increased robustness against server errors and malformed responses in the publishing subsystem
- Better support for importing video from some Sony cameras
- Correction of a problem where the searching and filtering UI could get out of sync with what was being displayed in a user’s library
- Fixing of a regression in which the Send To feature didn’t work correctly with multiple photos
A tarball of this release can be obtained from http://yorba.org/download/shotwell/0.13/shotwell-0.13.1.tar.xz, and Ubuntu users on Precise Pangolin can obtain a pre-built version from the Yorba PPA; users on Quantal Quetzal or other distributions should have access to pre-built binaries soon through the normal update mechanisms.
Again, thank you for your interest in Shotwell, and if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to let us know or mention them on our mailing list.
I wasn’t feeling terribly poetic today; next time, I’ll do better, I promise.
Is there WebP support planned?
It’s unlikely in the near future since no cameras today support WebP. The format is really designed for the web, not photo archives.
That said if there’s significant demand we’ll probably add it at some point.
Unfortunatelly I could not install via ppa the latest version to a 64 bit precice.
Did you receive an error message of some kind?
I’m also having issues getting the PPA to work. I’m on a AMDx64 Debian Squeeze here is what I get:
root@obx-056-ws:/usr/sbin# sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yorba/ppa
Traceback (most recent call last):

any help would be appreciated, thanks.
