I'd go with that. :) My preferences for gthumb are mainly rooted in my
"old-fashioned" style of working with images in (file system) folders
but I have to admit that some of the features provided by shotwell are
_really_ neat, especially the ability to "vote" for pictures (5 .. 0
"stars") and filter images based upon this "voting", even though I
remember having seen this elsewhere before - Apple? Adding to that,
shotwell seems a more easy-to-use choice for sorting large collections
of images without having much manual work to do. :)

Cheers,
