gThumb
I was wondering what the reasoning was to get rid of gThumb in the default install (ubuntu desktop package).* Is their an application that has been added to help people organize home movies that I missed?

I outlined in my specification (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/No-Mono-by-Default)* how gThumb has more functionality than F-Spot, is more efficient memory wise and takes up less space.

Each has advantages and disadvantages like any technology. But when I last defended Mono and F-Spot, I got jumped like a gang member in the wrong neighborhood. Just trying to show options here. Looking for solutions to defuse the argument that erupted last time this was brought up, before the argument erupts again. Hoping to show that while gThumb is a poor product on its best days (editorial, I know, but face it, its not good), but F-Spot and Mono are not our only solutions. There are other programs out there that are of some serious quality. The BM page says that the product is not quite of release quality, but lets be real, its not of a professional release quality. For the average consumer, its perfectly stable enough. I would not want to rely on this if I was a professional photographer until a few bugs were worked out. But this product has no more bugs than the average FOSS product. BTW, I have just briefly played with Blue Marine, and that is one hell of a program. The type that really takes a run away from the second rate Windows based graphical tools, and right at the far superior Mac based one. It would definitely be a capabilities upgrade from anything in the repos now.

Blue Marine is one program I've seen recommended for proper handling of EXIF data (that's the metadata I was trying to remember).* I was looking for an alternative to F-Spot because of the poor EXIF-handling at the time.

Perhaps, there is Digikam which is really neat, but it's KDE based, so I
would still stick with f-spot as default. After getting a little love from devs (that are already doing an awesome job) f-spot will rock!
