[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 175191] Re: f-spot changes timestamp in an incorrect way

[Vladimir]

Today I found this open letter (http://daniel-
bartholomew.com/wordpress/2009/10/f-spot-considered-harmful/) to F-spot
devs. Perhaps it is time to address this issue.

To whom it may concern,

Data corruption is ALWAYS a critical problem but you list bugs 340903
and 454082 as “UNCONFIRMED” with a severity and priority of “Normal”.

UNCONFIRMED? Normal? Who are you kidding? Data corruption is always
critical and these bugs are years old and have been confirmed in your
own bugzilla by dozens of users.

Regardless of whatever reason you had for introducing this stupid date-
changing “feature”, you never change EXIF data unless the user expressly
tells you to. That’s basic common courtesy.

You’ve known about this issue for over three years. You need to grow up,
acquire a clue, and fix F-Spot’s terrible and destructive behavior.
Yesterday.

Until then I will distrust F-Spot and anyone who says it is anywhere
close to being a good, decent, or even “ok” photo manager. You and
others keep telling me that F-Spot is awesome, that F-Spot is great,
that it is the best Linux photo manager. I no longer believe you. From
now on F-Spot is not getting anywhere near my photos. I’ve written about
you before but I take all the good things I said then back. I was
younger, more impressionable, and foolish. But those are just excuses.
The fact is I was wrong. Yes, you appear to have some nice features, but
your core has some rotten bits and I don’t eat rotten apples (even if
only bits of them are rotten), I throw them away.

Goodbye,

Daniel Bartholomew
