Thanks for the reply :)

Yes, I will look at those ones and see how it is done.
I do hope that you are planning for more unit testing of the logic in
Shotwell in the near future, since it is much easier to implement it now
than later when it is a much more mature product.
Test Driven approach sure enhances the end quality of the product :)
