And now the bomb drops. The quality is likely better than an analog
contact sheet, but the analog contact sheet includes the number of the
negative photo and information about the used film outside of the
picture. You can enable an option, so shotwell does provide the file
name of the photo, but it does cover a part of the photo, while actually
there is enough space above and below the photo. It could be better than
what we used to use in the analog ages, but it's less good, due
to unthought out programming.
