Tags should have metadata fields, these should be image specific or tag specific. All these fields should be optional and the system made expandable so that flexible tags can be created.

The People tag should include fields for:
- Linked Contact (Tag Specific)
   - Link the tag to a person in your address book
- Photo Bounds (Photo Specific)
   - The bounds of the persons face, similar to facebook

The Place tag should include fields for:
- Location (Tag Specific)
   - The latitude and longitude of the location
- Photo Bounds (Photo Specific)
   - The bounds of the place, for instance a mountain in a photo


The Event tag should include fields for:
- Linked Calender Event (Tag Specific)
   - Link the photo to and event in your calender

Similar to Solution #1, but for KDE4's Gwenview. It has a plugin system in place, so it would make sense to utilize that for this purpose.

Add an entry "merge" to the context menu if multiple images are selected. Afterwards ask, if the user is sure and how to name the added version(s) each after another. If files are named according to f-spot scheme (with the bracked), then use this name as the proposed name for that image version.

One possible solution is to offer an alternative method that enables the user to seamlessly copy the photo to the "Photos" folder and updates the F-Spot catalog.

From Nautilus, it is intuitive for the user to (a) remove SD media card from camera, (b) insert SD card into computer media slot, (c) Nautilus automatically launches and user views a photo using F-Spot viewer.

Unfortunately, F-Spot does not offer an option to copy the photo to the local "Photo" folder and update the F-Spot catalog.

I propose that this functionality be added to F-Spot when F-Spot is used to view one or more photos.

For instance, include an option in the Menu system.

File --> Add to Catalog

or

File --> Export --> F-Spot Catalog

I would change the "Import folder" to "import photos", and within this menu there could be an option to "Import all photos from this folder".

When a user wants to choose a picture by clicking on the appropriate button, a box would popup for instance and offer the following solutions:
- Case 1: “Choose a picture from my F-spot collection”
- Case 2: “Choose a picture manually”
- Case 3: and why not “Choose a picture from my Ubuntu One account” (depending on how this service will evolve).

In case 1, a new window would appear offering a search in the F-spot tags/timeline/photos name. The user would search the picture he/she desires, click on it and press a "OK" button (or simply double click on the picture).

In case 2, a Nautilus window would appear as it is currently the case.

In case 3, well I don't have enough experience with Ubuntu One so far, so it is still a very vague idea. I guess one could choose the desired picture in a "Pictures/photos" folder which would be in the cloud. Anyway, if it is in the cloud, it is obviously on the computer in Username/Ubuntu One folder.

Tracker could handle better the searching part, and it already scans most of your directories, Ubuntu ONE included.

developers should add this option to get F-Spot the best Photo manager ever... I thing F-Spot is one of the great apps in Ubuntu and should become a really "slideshow center" for us to show photos to people...

By addind two plugins, one in f-Spot to notify of the slideshow's start and one in Rhythmbox to start playing when notified, the problem will be solved and we can use both in compination with other programs.
Maybe we can add a few "configuration options" (exchanged via the dialog protocol) like in f-spot, we'll see the availlable playlists and choose one of them to use with the slideshow.

This could use D-Bus or any other inter application dialog protocol.

PS: for example, but this solution isn't about implementing theses examples:
gnome games could play certain playlists when you win or loose
Power manager could provide a way for f-spot to ask for a certain screen brightness

I don't use F-spot so you can remove from standard installation - I suggest replace F-spot with GNOME Photo Collector (http://sourceforge.net/projects/gpc/) and for creating simple sideshow with music i more prefer SMILE (http://smile.tuxfamily.org/) an Avidemux or mmencoder.

Well, F-spot is -compared to all other photo-managing programs I've ever seen- the best to find my pictures. So I thought it would be totally awesome if a lighter version of f-spot could start when you want to upload it.

It would be nice if one could specify a custom filename convention based on the EXIF timestamp (or the file timestamp where no EXIF exists). One would also need to introduce a variable to enumerate multiple shots taken in a single second.

For example, two shots taken in the same second could be named as:

~/Photos/2009/2009-03-18/12h14m25s.JPG
~/Photos/2009/2009-03-18/12h14m25s-1.JPG

So, the config would be something like

~/Photos/%YYYY%/%YYYY%-%MM%-%DD%/%HH%h%MM%m%SS%E%.%EXT%

Where %E% is '-1', '-2' etc. and blank when no duplicates exist.

Just add a button when in F-spot or in the screensaver which lets you choose between 3,5, 10, 20, 30, 60 or 120seconds between photos.

While in Screen saver mode I would like a hot key so that it is possible to interact with the screensaver without exiting screensaver mode. So that you could have a menu like

interrupt and restart (because you want to see the picture a bit longer)
back one picture (some one asks who was ...)
select one picture (to maybe change tags, orientation or ... in f-spot after screensaver was left)
