A quick look at F-Spot
I love F-Spot. I moved off Picasa when I migrated to Linux last year because the Linux version was bad so went through several photo-management apps quickly before learning that F-Spot’s 3rd-party support (Flickr, etc) was immensely powerful. I saw this review at FOSSwire and thought I’d share:
Nowadays, people have a lot of media. Music, videos and photos. One application for Linux for managing a library of photos is F-Spot. I thought I would take it for a spin, under Fedora 8 and GNOME.
F-Spot ships with almost all modern distributions that use GNOME, so it’s pretty likely you won’t have to do anything to get it installed at all, just have a look under Applications > Graphics or similar. If not, install the f-spot package.
On opening the application for the first time, you’ll be asked to import some photos. I’ve got a collection of around 1400 snaps, so I chose to import the folder containing them into F-Spot.
