[Shotwell] Features for Shotwell 0.6

[Adam Dingle]

Martin,

thanks for the suggestions - these are all great ideas.  Some of them 
weren't already on our to-do list and so I've added tickets for those.  
It's safe to say these won't all happen in 0.6 :) but we'll keep these 
in mind as we plan the next couple of releases.

I agree that automated tests would be great for all the reasons you 
describe.  Testing in a completely automated way might not be completely 
easy since Shotwell is a relatively interactive and visual program, but 
I hope we can take some steps in this direction before long.

Below, I've listed the tickets for each of your suggestions so that you 
(or others) can track them if you like.
> * NEF/CRW support
>   

http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/522

> * A basic screensaver that shows images from your Shotwell photo collection
>   

http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1112

> * Enhance the screensaver so that it does this: http://www.photojoy.com/gallery/gallery.aspx?type_id=4&id=11213
>   

http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1579

> * Video playback/seeking
>   

http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/855

> * Export album to static HTML website; to local folder, SFTP, SSH and FTP (resident geek owns hosting and sets it up, family member just clicks Publish)
>   

http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1580

> * Export to Gallery ( http://gallery.menalto.com/ )
>   

http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1585

> * Ability to attach tags during import (i.e. if I shot photos during an 8 day vacation they are currently split into several date-based events which is fine but it's a bit annoying having to go into each separate day from my vacation, then select all and add the tag).
>   

http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1586

> * Photo specific printing, i.e. ability to select X photos and group them Y per page, ability to choose how the photos are rotated on the paper.
>   

http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1188

> * Currently you can easily navigate to "Photos from December 2005" using the events tree, but in a semi professional photo workflow you'd often to the same for other metadata such as specific DSLR lenses or GPS data. Sometimes these are also combined (i.e. I want to see all the shoots from my 50mm fixed lens taken in India).
>   

http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1587

> * Upload video to youtube.
>   

http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1589

> * Super simple editor for still image slideshow videos (user selects duration for each still, selects transition effects, selects background music, possibly adds some caption texts)
>   

http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1591
http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1590

> * Support Adobe DNG and RAW formats from minor camera manufacturers.
>   

http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/522

> Also as a parallel to all of this:
> * Automated UI sanity tests, unittests, code coverage and performance regression tests
>
