SYNOPSIS
       shotwell [OPTION]... [FILE]


DESCRIPTION
       Shotwell is a digital photo organizer designed for the GNOME desktop
       environment.  It allows you to import photos from disk or camera,
       organize them in various ways, view them in full-window or fullscreen
       mode, and export them to share with others.

              used anymore.
