It won't help. F-Spot is defective by design. BTW, Shotwell too. I would never put them into the default install, they both suck. Both are unusable piece of software.

i hope so. is there any page where one can find these improvements (e.g. blueprint-page)?
will fspot work with user folders? – in my eyes the most serious bug.

How could you manage to read something about file system there? You must be a guy who has very good imagination.

Now with every Ubuntu version F-spot will be removed automatically if i remove mono with UCK, i never use this slow application because Gthumb is better and for regular viewing is EOG.

Oy may be you think ubuntu users have already get into the way how buggy any new ubuntu release is, so no problem here?

a) you are defaming talented developers who have proven themselves time and time again.
b) there IS a plugin to update your library using inotify available.
c) It is about doing it right, not just doing it. We have to maintain this code and in the case of the lead developers they have to support it for 5 years and above as it is shipped in Novells SLED products.
d) doing this is low priority as it is not considered vital functionality, nor even the right solution to the problem. Instead the argument has always been to keep your database updated using an indexer such as beagle or tracker. Years ago you could even do this via a plugin but it hasn't been ported to the new banshee design by it's maintainer.

Beagle takes too much resources. It's bad search engine, they must be invisible. Tracker? LOL, tracker is an typical example of how most of the free software looks like: buggy and have no tendency of improvement. It feels just like any alpha-software in spite of the fact it's under development for a long time. Even the fact it was in the default install of ubuntu seems to have no benefit for the project. Just like pulse audio: both appeared with fanfares, both felt buggy and, I hope, pulse audio will repeat tracker way and will be left from the ubuntu and gnome core dependencies.

a) you are defaming talented developers who have proven themselves time and time again.

Actually talented developers don't make anything for the linux desktop. They can do different things: writing windows or mac desktop apps, writing scientific apps, writing OS kernels (including GNU/Linux), writing high-load systems. But they don't write linux desktop apps. Just look at them.

Then don't use Linux or at least Ubuntu since you seem to hate everything about it.
Go use Windows or OS X and download GIMP

Woh, F-spot? Isn't that the imageviewer/editingprogram that won't let you resize pictures? That seems like a killerapp!

You are clearly in the wrong forum here. I'd suggest you move your diatribes to a Windows or Mac forum where all those talent developers hide out so you have less to complain about.

I also suggest you request a refund on the purchase price of all that free software you are so dissatisfied with and remove it from your system.
