From this comment[1], it seems Shotwell has been forked and the original upstream is no more. I tried gThumb but my concern is the lack of support for non-destructive editing method. In addition, Shotwell still has an outstanding bug[2] related to Facebook account affecting all distributions. As Design Suite maintainer using Workstation as a base, I think it will be time to reevaluate which actively maintained application should be included as default. I looked at Gnome Photos but it lacks support of sorting folders by date i.e (YYYY/MM/DD). Comments welcome.

Yes, Shotwell maintenance ended about half a year ago, after Yorba
fizzled out. I strongly support removing it with or without
replacement.

I would much rather ship gThumb than Shotwell; gThumb is great.


It has some bugs, but now Gthumb is great.

With my upstream GNOME hat on, our focus now is on promoting our
content apps, including GNOME Photos, which is a core app that we
intend distributions shipping GNOME to install by default. We don't
intend for gThumb to be a core app; that's a more advanced tool. So my
vote is for Photos, even though it's less mature.


I also support Gnome core apps, yet Photos not in a stage of development that will be a replacement for Shotwell, so I think now Shotwell, must be replaced by Gthumb until Photos will match in functionalities.

We're going to have a content apps hackfest next week in Madrid; I will
mention your request for sorting options in Photos, and maybe it will
happen. (I'll myself be focused on Music, our Rhythmbox replacement,
since I have a lot of music and not a lot of photos.)
