It's never about most features either. The question is prioritization of functionality. You can not deny that there is significant overlap here between these applications and general function. The question becomes what is the primary functionality that Fedora Core is attempting to fill and how well does each candidate application fill that role. As to the question of which functionality is more important.. casual browsing or centralized management. I'm not really sure casual browsing of images outside of the filemanager is that important compared to centralized photo management at this point. I do however feel strongly that a choice needs to be made and one of these applications should be in Core, and the other should move to Extras. eog,gthumb,f-spot i do not think all 3 should be in Core. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
