I know, but this was essentially a review in comparison with iPhoto and Picasa.
2) The timeline has scrollbars when needed
I had four years worth of images and no scrollbar. Perhaps this is a bug in the SUSE 9.3 implementation?
3) The timeline can be focused by using the sliders (similar to margin adjusters in Word/Openoffice) on the left and right hand sides of the timeline.
Mentioned that in the review. I just didn't think it was very elegant. I suggested a right-click 'view this month' option.
4) F-Spot has many levels of Undo. Just select the image and choose the "version" on the bottom left panel in F-Spot.
Again, this was mentioned, but I didn't think it was very effective. What's wrong with putting an undo under the 'Edit' menu as every other app does? In terms of creating consumer grade applications, I think the whole point is to present users with an innovative application that, at least, follows conventions when attempting to do mundane tasks.
