I have recovered images from a lost partition and I need to sort them or put them into a folder by the creation date in the EXIF data of each image.
I have installed digiKam and also shotwell but have not found the way to do this on any of the options.
Can anyone explain to me how to do it with either of those programs or by any other method?
Is there a way to give shotwell a factory reset without deleting any of the original photos.
I made a big mess of importing the wrong library followed by the right library and now have 30,000 photos a lot of which are duplicate and rather than sifting through them all I would have thought it easier to start again.
Reinstalling shotwell does not work. Emptying the photos to the trash deletes the original file. Anything else I can do? Thanks
I am using 12.04.
Are there plans for Shotwell to have face recognition and to categorize photos according to faces?
I have noticed that Shotwell has a pretty capable image viewer but EOG is still used for opening image files, which means Ubuntu's default install has two apps for the same purpose.
I wonder why Shotwell isn't set as the default image viewer and EOG is removed. Are there certain features that EOG has and Shotwell lacks, which are keeping it from being set as default?
For some unknown reason all thumbnails are lost in my Shotwell, instead all icons are grey. The images themselves are all okay and I can open them all in Shotwell.
There are only empty folders in .shotwell/thumbs/ so it looks like the thumbnails don't doesn't get generated at all.
I have also tried to re-install Shotwell (by purge it first) without any change.
How do I make Shotwell regenerate all the thumbnails?
