"Foto" is a new elementary style image and album viewer app. It is very light weight when compared to shotwell - the default image and album viewer app of elementary. As you know, I'm using a daily build of elementary os and I had upgraded it. But before completing the upgrade, I computer got switched off and the update failed. Then I found that one of the dependency of shotwell is causing the issue and I'm not able to run the update or install any other packages.
I ran sudo apt-get update -f to fix the issue but it didn't work. So finally I decided to remove it. I ran
sudo apt-get remove shotwell
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get clean
commands and ran the update again. Thus shotwell has removed completely from my computer.
So now I do not have a photo viewer app in my os. I had to use firefox or midori for this purpose. But they are browsers, right?
I had already heard about foto app from Camilo Higuita rodriguez in elementary os community in google plus.
I installed the foto app in my elementary os and it is really light weight and follows elementary os principle than the default app shotwell. It's a real alternative to shotwell and I think it should replace shotwell and be made the default photo app for elementary.
