"Photos" mentioned in the release notes, but not found

Latest response

Hello,

In the document "7.2 release notes" there is a chapter "Chapter 6. Desktop", which has a pararaph:

"Also, redesigned GNOME provides support for browsing more pictures in Photos, and improved touchscreen support, with multi-touch gestures for both the system and applications. "

I'm unable to found this "Photos" application with yum or with the package installer GUI. I suppose it could be gome-photos, but it is also cannot be found. (I know there is shotwell, but it is not called as Photos)

I'm on the Workstation edition.
Am I missed sommething, or it is a bug in the documentation?

Hello! Thank you for your comment.

Photos is an application to access, organize and share your photos with GNOME 3, Shotwell is a different application with a similar use as it is a photo manager as well.

The Photos application needs to be installed first:

  • Either click on Activities Overview and type "Software". This install manager will guide you through the installation of "gnome-photos" once you type it in the search field.
  • Or, on the command line, run "yum install gnome-photos" as root.

See also RPM resource for gnome-photos for x86-64 workstations and more information on the Photos app.

Dear Ferenc, I need to apologize for the confusion I have caused.

So far, the gnome-photos package is really NOT available in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. We will delete the paragraph on Photos in the Release Notes document and republish it. Thank you very much for drawing our attention to this bug and again, my sincere apologies!
