Shotwell 0.8.0 Now Available
Yorba, developers of Shotwell, the open source photo manager for GNOME, announced that version 0.8.0 is now available.
New release features include video support for most major video formats as well as the the ability to import photos off of camera and add photos to events and tags. Users can now publish videos to YouTube, Flickr, Facebook, and PicasaWeb.
In addition users now have runtime monitoring of library directory and auto-import of newly created files. Users can also flag photos for batch operations and can set multiple photos to their desktop background as a slideshow. There is also numerous translation updates and various bug fixes.
