	<title>Flagging photos</title>

    <p>Shotwell lets you <em>flag</em> photos.  When a photo is flagged, a small flag icon
    appears in its upper right corner.  You can select the <gui>Flagged</gui> item in the sidebar to see
    all photos which have been flagged.</p>
    
    <p>Flagging a photo marks it as special.  You can interpret this in any way you like.  For example,
    you might flag all photos which need visual
    adjustment, or all photos which you want to share with a friend.</p>
    
    <p>Flagging
    is also useful because you can operate on all flagged photos as a set.  For example, you can
    select the <gui>Flagged</gui> view and then upload all flagged photos to a publishing service.</p>
