I was wondering if you are still developping this plugin. The last commit is getting old now :p Hi ! I was wondering if you are still developping this plugin. The last commit is getting old now :p

I hope you understood what I meant. ;-) Hi,

I went back and fourth on the interface so many times. It definitely needs UI help. Another bothersome aspect is that for now you could only select photos by dragging them from the main view. fileneed, It picks up whatever timestamp f-spot provides, I believe that f-spot uses ctime when no EXIF data exists, but I am not sure. About the GPS data format, yeah for now it is just GPX, but I would be happy to add more formats if you could send me samples. Andreas,

For example when using a laptop and webcam, some mobile phones or very cheap cameras there are no tags but the files still have accurate ctimes. It might also be useful to indicate the format of the GPS tracks accepted in the GUI. I guess it has to be a GPX file?

Is the start date and end date for individual photos or for all of them? Other quick nitpicks would be the the icon used for "Show in map", that makes no sense at all, better show no icon at all (that also makes the text centered in the button, so it will look a bit nicer). Same with "load track" and "clear", the misalignment of the icons are quite off. I guess the word OK should also be replaced with the action you are about to make. http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/windows-alert.html.en#alert-button-order Ugh, that sounded like Im totally racking down on your hard work, but the feature is actually totally sweet, just needs some small UI love.
