Dolphin is a bit clunky in KDE, but if you open it in GNOME is seems to run fine. I've tried F-Spot, but I found it a bit awkward and slow when processing 8+ gigs of pictures. Perhaps I'll fool around with DigiKam a little bit. I'm a gnome fanboy, so I haven't really tried much of the K stuff since.. Slackware 8 or 9.
As for the woman thing, I'm particularly speaking of the one that rules my roost, not in general. I suppose I was a bit vague
Her default email application is Thunderbird, and it seems Thunderbird uses a simplified file manager to open documents. I know Nautilus works well for thumbnails (I'm actually really liking dolphin for that right now), but I can't figure out how to resize the pictures to send. Each picture is almost 2mb, so sending 20 odd pictures just doesn't work.
Gimp is fast, and it's pretty easy to create a script to automatically make resized copies, but of course, that's silly, and has too many steps.
Also, you have to realize I'm talking about a WOMAN here. There's no logic in this.
Perhaps I'll figure out a way to write some kind of bash script or something that she can drag/drop pictures to it, then it'll open a new message with the pictures already attached. Women.
With converting my fiancee, is that when she emails pictures, she doesn't have the option of 'thumbnail view' in gnome, as well as the option to pick multiple pictures and being able to right click them and email them as resized copies.
This sounds trivial, but because of this, she is vehemently opposed to adopting Linux in general. I find it's all in the details for most people. It may seem like a 'Windows' thing, but really, it's a matter of simplicity, which she values.
And so I'm not off topic here, she IS a power windows user.
