Original description:
From Martin Olsson on the mailing list:
Suppose a user wants to select all photos from an event and use the "Enhance" functionality on them. This, and also rotate, doesn't work if there is at least one video included in the event (i.e. if at least one video is selected the ROTATE/ENHANCE buttons will be disabled/unclickable). There is no cue or hint in the UI that explains to the user why those buttons are no longer clickable. Here are some ideas for fixing this A) when the button is disabled due to this particular reason, then change the button tooltip to say "Rotation is not available when one or more videos are selected", or B) have the button enabled and rotate/enhance only the photos, silently ignoring the videos that happened to be selected as well (this would weird, especially if the user selects only videos although ofc one could make the rotate/enhance buttons be disabled for that particular case), C) show a warning/confirm dialog saying that "you have one or more videos selected; these will not be rotated/enhanced", D) come up with something even better! Also, as long as Shotwell has this constraint, it might be useful to have a "Select all photos" menu item next to the "Edit::Select All", which doesn't just help to alleviate the unable-to-enhance-all problem, it's also somewhat useful for cases where one wants to PUBLISH only the photos from an event and not the videos.
