Sun viewed through eclipse glasses

Sun viewed through eclipse glasses on Flickr.

Shotwell is getting more annoying all the time. For example: it assumes you're importing from a pure camera, so if you plug in, say, a smartphone, it offers to import every single image on the device. Including your web browser cache. That's helpful.
