I have had problems with this showing some of the pictures from my
camera... we already have shotwell which does the same job and works, why
double up?

It's the one everyone is used to.

fine by me, works with anything I have.

ok, better than parole

Ok, I think thulnar is trying to become this anyway, so if nautilus works
better... I think you may find thulnar is used to put file icon on the
desktop in xfce though... it may be hard to remove and still use xfce.

seems to work ok.

Is GCDMaster in there anywhere? It seems to be the only tool that does
easy disk-at-once (no space between tracks for live projects) editing. Or
is there another tool I'm missing.

I am sure I will be adding my own list of favorites in any case. Can't
please everyone....
