>> hi! First of all I should say thank you for your job for making such a great software.

>> Secondly: what's the right way to use shotwell? I mean, I want something like ышьзду folders (or albums), like in iPhoto, to store photos there, but it seems that you cannot create a new event in shotwell (and not always be stuck to dates).

> This should place the images you just chose into their own event, allowing you to sort them as you please.

I think now I understand my frustration better a little. It is about that shotwell's collections and photos/videos dates.

1. My android camera has a timestamp bug that writes wrong date timestamp to videos (this is a known one on shotwell's redmine, but that's not the point), so shotwell sees those videos as they're in 1945. Also, I often get photos from people with wrong date set, so I'm talking not about just android-bug-specific situation. So when I drag&drop that video (from 1945) to my event with it's photos (with the right date) it becomes showed as "1945" (the whole event with all the photos). That frustrated me.

2. I decided to create collection "wallpapers" for my desktop wallpapers. It was in "Undated" when I created it (and filled with wallpapers). I added there another wallpaper just now that has date in it's metainformation somehow and the whole "wallpapers" event just jumped to folder "2002 → July → Wallpapers".

3. As I've already mentioned, people often give me photos with wrong dates set. So I have 3 events with photos from same event just because two of them have wrong date set (they're grouped by wrong date). So I drag and drop those events with wrong date to event with right date, but that moves the event to some other place.

So generally, the whole thing that frustrates me is that when you move something to event you don't expect it to move somewhere. And when you move photos with wrong date (or date that shouldn't be there at all) — you expect it to change the date or at least do nothing, but not move the whole event because wrong date corrects the "computed event date".

I did my best, but it's somehow hard to explain for me, so if you have any questions — please just ask them.

Thanks!
