Glad you like Shotwell! :)

Glad you were brave enough to try the current trunk build. :)

Right. Unfortunately, most common video container formats don't seem to 
have metadata indicating when a video was filmed, as far as we know. So 
any video you import from your hard drive will end up in No Event. If 
you import videos directly from a camera, Shotwell will put them into 
events according to the date they were filmed.

If the Theora format supports date tags, then we should enhance Shotwell 
to be able to read them. I've just ticketed this here:

Dragging them to events should work, but is broken in the trunk at the 
moment. See

http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2763

We'll fix this soon.
