  • Totem isn't a dependency for the Shotwell video thumbnailer anymore
  • option to adjust time&date for videos
  • new saved search with numerous logic filters like "starts with", "ends with", "does not contain", etc (run it with Ctrl+S)

  • the uploaded images (on Facebook and Picasa) don't use the filenames as titles anymore
  • updated translations
