[Rawstudio-users] Rawstudio 1.0 release candidate 1

[Olli Hänninen]

Hi Anders,

Please see my answers in the middle of quoted text.

1) Quick export makes Rawstudio crash every time.

1.0rc1 does not crash on my computer anymore :-)


6) There are some phrases that are not included in the pot-file. (See my

I downloaded it from http://www.rawstudio.org/translations.php. I added
those few phrases to my translation and sent it to the list few minutes ago.
Everything ok on this too.

That is a good question. I kinda see A, B and C as priorities too. I mean
that I use B and C when trying different things, but I always have the final
settings in A. But wouldn't it be possible to have updating thumbnail for
all A, B and C? This would increase the space the thumbnails take on the
drive, for if it improves usability, it is very ok with me. (Hard drives are
cheap nowadays :-)


2) You should be able to rename the photos.

I see renaming the photos as a vital part of the raw workflow. If I can't
rename photos in rawshooter, it is impossible (or at least impracticable) to
do it in any other way. This is because of the xml files in the .rawstudio
folder. If I wanted to rename the photos in nautilus, I had to rename both
the raw-file and the xml (and thumbnail too). I suggest that by clicking the
photo name below its thumbnail, you could rename the photo (and rawstudio
would naturally rename the raw-file and the xml-file).

CTRL-click sounds very nice. Can hardly wait it :-)



You have made a huge job with Rawstudio. Once more, congratulations on that.
Nice to see that last few weeks have brought more and more interest on
Rawstudio and on its development.
