I’m confused: Is Jens taking a time machine to publish a newer version in the past?
Screenshot Apps/Shotwell - GNOME Wiki! :
I have installed this: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/shotwell/-/raw/master/flatpak/org.gnome.Shotwell.unstable.flatpakref
Looks like the newest version is 0.31.2
There’s no GtkTimeMachine here. It’s just that 0.30.12 is a minor release of the previous version. That happens a lot and is why you can have updates for e.g. 3.38.4 when GNOME 40 is already out.
See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/shotwell/-/blob/shotwell-0.30/NEWS#L1
That probably misses a <release> tag in the appdata file.
The last stable release is 0.30.12. The last unstable release is 0.31.3.
I know this is the GNOME discourse so please forgive me when I mention Discover… It shows me some flatpak related errors on startup every time. I assume that’s related to why I can’t see the newest version. Anyone knows the remedy?
on the command line:
flatpak update
Looking for updates…

Nothing to do.Or I may have forgotten to actually build the flatpak for that version 
Have to check.
But yes, this is the latest development version and it’s much older than the latest stable. Because time. and motivation.
It could also be that the repository is massively hosed. Try to install shotwell from gnome nightly, that’s more or less matching 0.31.3 anyway.

Is it safe when I remove this shotwell and install the one from gnome-nightly? Will my settings stay?

For whatever reason Shotwell is listed in Korean. How do I do this?
It should just work. The setting still “leak” to your host dconf, and the app folder should be identical. (~/.var/app/org.gnome.Shotwell)

Confirmed! Thanks.
flatpak run org.gnome.Shotwell
(shotwell:2): GLib-GIO-WARNING **: 20:41:49.265: Can't find module 'dconf' specified in GSETTINGS_BACKENDAnyone has this flatpak thing figured out? I’m trying to get rid of that error about the remote shotwell-origin, shotwell1-origin and shotwell2-origin.
However:
flatpak remotes
Name Options
flathub system
flathub-beta system
gnome-nightly system
they aren’t listed. sudo flatpak repair unfortunately didn’t do the trick.
You need to use
flatpak remotes --show-disabled
to see the full list (though it should have showed up in the original list if the shotwell-origin remote isn’t disabled). But what I suppose happens is that the *-origin remotes aren’t really proper remotes, you can’t update from them. They are only there as dummy remotes when you install a flatpak bundle (e.g. from the CI artifacts or when exporting a flatpak bundle from GNOME Builder).
So removing the shotwell coming from the *-origin remote should likely fix your issue. flatpak list --all | grep -i shotwell should show you all installed Shotwells, at user or system installation level, and the flatpak bundles.

trying to remove them:

Nothing unused to uninstallFigured it out:
flatpak remote-delete shotwell-origin
flatpak remote-delete shotwell1-origin
that will remove it.
