Don't worry :-)

Well, shotwell is simple, yet it is quite good at classifying a large 
collection of photos. I normally do not process the photos, though, so 
more complex software with those features do not appeal much to me.

And on Leap, gnome tools are not often updated. Hopefully Leap 16 has 
updated shotwell with newer features :-)


What I miss is, after labelling photos, is that this data carries over 
to other computers and other tools.
