# Shotwell Photo Manager
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
## Introduction
|
|
Shotwell is a digital photo manager designed for the GNOME desktop
|
|
environment. It allows you to import photos from disk or camera,
|
|
organize them by keywords and events, view them in full-window or fullscreen
|
|
mode, and share them with others via social networking and more.
|
|
|
|
Visit https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Shotwell to read about the current state of
|
|
Shotwell's development and to make sure you're running the latest version.
|
|
|
|
## Installation & Licensing
|
|
Please consult the (INSTALL) and (COPYING) files for more information.
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
There are three ways to import photos: via drag-and-drop, from a digital
|
|
camera, and from the File menu.
|
|
|
|
* Drag-and-drop: Simply drag photos from your file manager and drop them
|
|
onto the Shotwell window. You may drag files or directories. The photos
|
|
will be imported into the library.
|
|
|
|
* Camera: Connect your digital camera to your computer. Shotwell will
|
|
detect it and list it in the sidebar. When you select the camera, Shotwell
|
|
will load previews of each photo. You may choose specific photos to
|
|
import or to import them all.
|
|
Shotwell uses gPhoto2 to communicate with digital cameras. If your camera
|
|
does not appear in Shotwell's sidebar or there is a problem importing
|
|
photos, visit http://www.gphoto.org to see if it is supported.
|
|
|
|
* File menu: Select File -> Import From Folder ... and select a directory
|
|
from the chooser dialog box. Shotwell will scan the directory and all
|
|
sub-directories for photo files and automatically import them.
|
|
|
|
Once your photos are in Shotwell's library, you can view, edit, and export
|
|
them. More features are planned, so check http://www.yorba.org/shotwell
|
|
regularly for updates.
