F-Spot Photo Manager Edit buttons difficult to find

This will probably addressed when this update lands > http://blog.reblochon.org/2009/11/unleash-your-f-spot-toolbox.html

Why not using gThumb instead of f-spot? I think it just needs some UI refinements but his editing capabilities are good enough at this moment.

the gthumb discussion is out of topic there but it lacks integration with online services, exports to flickr, etc

Sebastien, just curious but has this actually been fixed in F-spot? Or what was the reason for marking it as fixed?

see the blogpost listed in previous comments

to be clear the bug is fixed upstream now and not in ubuntu yet

@Jonathan Blackhall :
The bug is marked as "Fix committed" . not 'fix released'
You can know more about the bug statuses > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status

Reverting status , to triaged.

This bug is about the Fspot photomanager. While the upstream fix is for the Fspot viewer.
The Fspot viewer bug is Bug #484888

This difficulty to find the Edit option maybe prevented by enabling the toolbar by default.
If the toolbar is displayed by default ,the user can switch to the edit mode from the toolbar.

This bug is an upstream one and it would be quite helpful if somebody experiencing it could send the bug the to the people writing the software. You can learn more about how to do this for various upstreams at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream. Thanks in advance!

Glad you realized my issue was separate from that in the blog post. I was confused by how that post was solving my issue. I submitted this upstream to Gnome's Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=603002

I'm unable to duplicate this problem in F-Spot 0.6.1.5 on Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit. I took a new install of Ubuntu 9.10, ran F-Spot, imported /usr/share/backgrounds, then double-clicked on a photo. The edit controls were on the left side when the photo appeared.

If you are still seeing the problem, please either delete your F-Spot preferences and try again, or test on a separate computer with a fresh Ubuntu 9.10 install.

I see that you're right. Something must have gotten fixed along the way. It's also working as expected in Lucid. I'm not sure who or what fixed it. I'll change this to Fix Released then, unless something reverts.

It looks like perhaps it's working on my 9.10 installations because I've already changed it from Tags -> Edit in the dropdown menu and just left it there. That menu remembers the selection even after F-spot is closed. My concern was with the default 10.04 installation. As I just ran F-spot for the first time in Lucid and the "Edit" menu is automatically displayed, that's all I really wanted. From what you're saying, it also looks like this is the case with 9.10. I'm fairly sure that wasn't the case back in November when I tried, so that must mean something has gotten fixed. Out of curiosity, was your test on a default 9.10 install, or had you run updates?
