GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 513561
Allow editing photos from F-Spot Viewer
Last modified: 2018-07-12 00:10:05 UTC
It would be nice if, when viewing an image with the F-Spot Viewer (single image), you could launch an image editor, like the GIMP, from there.

I think this would be a great feature, there are times when you want to view images without adding them to your photo library. During viewing you may very well decide you want to do a quick crop, or other simple editing without needing to open gimp. Seems like exposing editing in the f-spot viewer since the editing functionality is already available would be a big win. Perhaps the idea of "viewer" would change a little, it would be more of a standalone photo viewer/editor.
At the very least F-spot Viewer should be updated to support cropping and rotation, and then made the default action when double clicking on images. This is especially important now that Gimp is being dropped from the Lucid Live CD and default install. http://twitter.com/mpt/status/5829411979 http://twitter.com/oldmanuk/status/5831011186

Comment on attachment 155192 [details] [review] Add editing to view mode This needs to be updated (please do so urgently). As this is a big patch, I'm waiting on this one before restructuring the source tree, which is a requirement for Monodevelop build support.
F-Spot has moved to https://github.com/f-spot/f-spot/issues If this Bugzilla ticket is still valid in a recent version of F-Spot, please feel free to post this topic as a ticket in the F-Spot project on GitHub. Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping as we are planning to shut down GNOME Bugzilla in favor of GNOME Gitlab.
