Same :-).

        - gqview : to review images to keep or throw away.  It is pretty

KPA also. I use the 'd' letter keyword.
When I add new images to the db, I do this;
* from a Jesper's old advice, I always tag 'OK' the photos I already tagged.
It makes it very simple to find newly added images or the one I still
haven't tagged.
* If I got enough time, I then make a quick pass on the photo/video set and
press 'd' for those I want to delete

Then sometimes I display every images that are 'd' are delete them.


        - gimp : to edit/crop


Well, I rarely touch the photos coming from my camera.
For the video, I use transcode since my camera (powershot S3is) produces
mjpeg videos that are BIG (something like 50MB for 20 seconds is a good
example). I encode them in xvid.

        - some home grown shell scripts for

Before I was using the "exifautotran" script coming from the libjpeg-progs
package.
Now, with the latest Ubuntu I put. Out of the box, a popup opens when I plug
my cam. It does exactly the job I want as I just have to check one of the
checkbox to ask for this rotation to be done. One script less :-).

Me too, sometimes when I want to do batch processing (-resize 60% and so on)
