Tested the application and it is really nice. Couple of things that were not so obvious:
- When I wanted make a second photo, It took me a while to figure out that I need to click the picture to open another picture.
- I have couple of hundreds of pics and using the filebrowser is pain because you most probably want to use the last pictures. Maybe the place in the filebrowser could be saved to remember where you were when you picked the last picture.
- A menu when clicking on the window name would be nice.

Hi and thanks for the feedback.

You've made some very good points there. Most of which I have been planning to address. I'm currently just finishing off the first version of Classic Cam which uses the same processing engine but within a camera application. When this is done (within the next few days) I'll go back to improving Classic Print.

I intend to add a batch processing mode to allow the bulk conversion of lots of images.

The filebrowser issue has been mentioned by a few people so I plan to look at that too. And I guess, adding a menu that duplicates some of the functions cannot hurt either.

Classic Print is now available in extras rather than extras-testing so I'm hoping there will be a good few people trying it out. If anyone has any good examples processed using the app then I'd love to see them posted in this thread!

This is really one of the most wanted app around. And it works nicely, I've been using it for days now, and I really appreciate your work.
A really nice addition, not as much important as the other asked before, would be a sort of "unified preference settings": one pane to set all the pane options; I found that I use the same block of preferences, and named with the same name.
And what about a repository/share to enjoy each other settings?
Thanks!

I have an album made with classic print.

first, choosing the picture i just took with N900 is becoming more and more of a pain as i take more and more pictures. scrolling down hundreds of pictures every time.
maybe it can be possible to open classic print from the photo viewing app? as in - choose your pic normally and then run classic print with it?

second, the light leak thing can be used for cool effects like a much better frame, see attached example. (I didn't get a cool frame there but you can see how someone more talented can get it to work properly)
might be worth experimenting with higher-resolution files for light-leaks if they're used like that.

third - classic print works so much better with an overclocked n900.. its a lot more usable now that my phone runs at 850mhz

I've just had a quick look at fixing that issue as a number of people have reported the fact that it is a pain to select images. Unfortunately, it looks like the file picker in Qt for Maemo ignores the option to scroll to a particular file.

I'm sure I'll be able to find a solution given a bit more time on it. I might see if I can quickly put together an image picker rather than using the standard file picker. I do like the idea of running it from the photo viewing app though.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm not that happy with the whole settings selection but am struggling to think of the best way to do it. I want to allow the maximum tweakability but also want to make it easy to select preset settings.

Are you suggesting that there should be a way to just select a named lens, film and processing setting on a single pane? Sounds like a good idea.

Maybe I should move the current settings into menu options and only provide a the simplified method through the tool buttons? Suggestions anyone?

I think the file picker prompt allows you to use the hard keyboard as a type to jump.
