Original description:

Ubuntu has patched Shotwell to use Ubuntu Online Accounts for authentication.
We may wish to move this code into the Shotwell trunk.

Lucas wrote about this:

I had an hour-long meeting with David King earlier today on this topic too.
Going forward, if we want to integrate these changes into our upstream repo,
it looks like we'll have to develop a relationship with both their Web
Applications engineering and Desktop Experience design teams. For example,
there's some special UI stuff we will have to do if a token has become
expired.

There is a branch on Launchpad containing changes to port Shotwell to UOA. It
is a little bit out of date, but is what we used to demo the functionality:

Any comments would be useful, but please also see my email to the Shotwell
mailing lis, as that might also be a good place for discussiont:

Shotwell 0.12.90 including the UOA patch has landed in Quantal, but seems to
be broken. See

It's slowly dawning on me that maybe Shotwell in Quantal is behaving as Ubuntu
intended. As I wrote on the downstream bug:

> I ran Shotwell, selected a photo and pressed Publish, and Shotwell offered
Pigiwo as the only publishing destination. Then I started Online Accounts and
added a Facebook account. Now when I run Shotwell I see Facebook listed as a
publishing destination in addition to Piwigo.

So: is this the expected behavior? The user must create accounts for
Facebook/Flickr/Google in Online Accounts, and before they do so those
destinations are not expected to show up in Shotwell?

HI Adam, yes this is broadly correct. The intention with UOA is that all
global account management (creating and deleting accounts, disabling accounts,
editing global settings, reauthenticating OAuth accounts, etc.) should be
delegated to the UOA panel in the control center. For this purpose, the
control center can be started with the UOA panel shown, and even with a
particular account selected (for example, if there is a problem with the
account) or with account and providers shown filtered by the application (such
as Shotwell). I wrote a developer quickstart guide which contains most of this
material, so I will try to get that published soon.

In the case of no accounts being configured, trying to publish a photo should
likely just popup the UOA panel with the ‘Add account…’ option selected.
Adding further accounts could be done by calling out to the UOA panel, maybe
when an ‘Add account’ option was selected inside Shotwell. I will try to get
some feedback from our designers to you on how they see that process, but if
you have strong opinions yourself then it would be great to hear them.

We discussed in a meeting with Ubuntu. For Quantal, they plan to make a number
of changes to address the usability problems with the existing Ubuntu Online
Accounts integration. See

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/shotwell/+bug/1046461

For Quantal+1, we plan to work together to refactor the UOA integration code
to allow it to land upstream.

We'd like to merge the Ubuntu Online Accounts code into the Shotwell trunk at
some point, but not for 0.13.
