Original description:
Picasa has a “photo tray†feature which allows for photos to be quickly and temporarily stored as a group so operations can be performed on all of them.

Added a mockup on how this feature could be integrated into Shotwell.
I'd like to get some feedback.

I think this is an interesting approach. I have some questions:
-
Why make the Photo Tray a special button/zone on the sidebar? Why not have it be a part of the sidebar, like Photos and Trash?
-
I'm not sure I understand the purpose of having two different ways of showing that a photo is in the tray (border color, icon in the corner). Why not just the icon in the corner?
-
Re: adding the export button to to the toolbar, that's a feature request outside of the photo tray, correct? In other words, that button is meant to correspond to File -> Export…

Thank you for you feedback.

Thea idea was to ensure that the tray is always visible. If it's in the “normal†sidebar, it will be either on top or on the bottom of the list and you'll always have to scroll to get to it. This would be complicated for example if you want to check the last events for pictures you want to print and you always have to switch between those you've already selected and the current event.
-
My idea was just to show two different ways. Of course there's only one way to show that the photo is in the tray. I had both ways in my mind and i couldn't decide which one was better.
-
You're right, this has nothing to do with the photo-tray. Please ignore it, it's not that important.

Yes, I can see that logic. My concern is about screen real estate in the sidebar, since the more we remove from the sidebar (and the larger it grows as collections grow), it becomes harder to navigate within it. I'm almost tempted to say that the Photo Tray hot spot you're suggesting is only visible when you have photos in the tray, but that defeats the purpose of having it be a drag- and-drop location.
-
Understood. I think I'd rather go with the icon.
-
If you think that would be handy, please file a ticket for it!

We've decided to take a different approach: see#2756. I'm marking this ticket as wontfix.
