# Shotwell Photo Manager

----------------------

## Introduction

Shotwell is a digital photo manager designed for the GNOME desktop

environment.  It allows you to import photos from disk or camera,

organize them by keywords and events, view them in full-window or fullscreen

mode, and share them with others via social networking and more.

Visit https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Shotwell to read about the current state of

Shotwell's development and to make sure you're running the latest version.

## Installation & Licensing

Please consult the (INSTALL) and (COPYING) files for more information.

## Quick Start

There are three ways to import photos: via drag-and-drop, from a digital

camera, and from the File menu.

* Drag-and-drop: Simply drag photos from your file manager and drop them

onto the Shotwell window.  You may drag files or directories.  The photos

will be imported into the library.

* Camera: Connect your digital camera to your computer.  Shotwell will

detect it and list it in the sidebar.  When you select the camera, Shotwell

will load previews of each photo.  You may choose specific photos to

import or to import them all.

Shotwell uses gPhoto2 to communicate with digital cameras.  If your camera

does not appear in Shotwell's sidebar or there is a problem importing

photos, visit http://www.gphoto.org to see if it is supported.

* File menu: Select File -> Import From Folder ... and select a directory

from the chooser dialog box.  Shotwell will scan the directory and all

sub-directories for photo files and automatically import them.

Once your photos are in Shotwell's library, you can view, edit, and export

them.  More features are planned, so check https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Shotwell

regularly for updates.
