We are pleased to announce the release of Shotwell 0.14.1, the first maintenance release in the Shotwell 0.14 family. Shotwell 0.14.1 is a significant update to Shotwell 0.14, boasting the following features:
- Fixes a critical issue where Shotwell could close unexpectedly when working with RAW photos in direct-edit mode
- The Facebook Connector now recovers smoothly from type 7 errors
- EXIF-oriented photos uploaded to Facebook now appear in their correct orientation, even when the strip metadata option is turned on in the Facebook Connector
- Fixes an issue where incorrect view filter settings were applied on tag and event pages
- The Camera Developer is now disabled for RAW images that lack a suitable paired or embedded JPEG
- Updated translations for many languages, including an updated Catalan translation that corrects a problem where incorrect event dates could be displayed
- Assorted smaller bug fixes
The Shotwell 0.14.1 tarball is available for download immediately. Ubuntu users can also find pre-packaged binaries for Ubuntu Precise (12.04) and Ubuntu Quantal (12.10) on the Yorba PPA. Shotwell 0.14.x will ship as the default photo manager in the upcoming Ubuntu Raring (13.04) release. Raring users will receive Shotwell 0.14.1 as part of their normal software update process.
Hello,
thanks for this great software.
I’ve read a lot about face recognition or people tagging in photos.
I’m fine with Strg+T but my wish for the future would be geo tagging.
Something like “Pictag” but as part (module) of Shotwell.
Regards
Hi Bernd,
Geotagging and geolocation services are planned for a future release of Shotwell. For example, see these tickets in our feature tracking database:

http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/1473
Of course, if you’re a hacker yourself and would like to contribute code for either of the above features, patches are gladly accepted!

Hi Yorbas!
I am quite happy with Shotwell as my default editor and organizer on my Ubuntu machine. Also, I love the enhance function, which gets it right most of the times. There is one thing that I am missing though – that is that my editing is also exported to disk. If my system crashed, I would want to trust, that all my edited photos are found on the machine, and not only in the Shotwell database. On the same line would be to sync the folders with the Photos according to the events. I am sure that many people switched from picasa to Shotwell and are missing the option to rename the folder if the according event is renamed in Shotwell as well as moving together pictures that have been put into the same event.
Thanks for listening,
Michael
