Original description:

There really should be an easy way to remove an event, or remove a photo from
an event. I looked around for about 5 minutes and couldn't find one. It would
also be nice if I could turn off events entirely in the prefs.

This ticket is really asking for several separate items.

  * **Remove photo(s) from an event.** Interestingly, you can't move photos out of an event and to “No Event†on the sidebar the way you can move photos between events. Seems like this wouldn't be too hard to add.
  * **Remove an entire event.** No way to do this currently. Could probably go in the context menu.
  * **Disable events entirely.** Sort of an anti-feature. Perhaps an alternate plan would be to have the events branch closed on startup for those who would rather see tags than events at startup.

I'm thinking these would make more sense as separates tickets.

Spent a couple minutes looking at this, here's a few development notes if we
decide to implement any of these.

  * MediaSource.set_event(null) will remove an event
  * The strangely-named MovePhotosCommand is for moving photos from one event to another. Even though new_event is nullable, it would currently segfault if null were passed in.
  * For drag and drop into “No Event†in the sidebar, Events.NoEventEntry could implement Sidebar.InternalDropTargetEntry and work pretty much the same as Events.EventEntry.

Tracked as https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/shotwell/-/issues/170This problem has been fixed in the unstable development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain that newer version.
