I have uploaded a new patch for the XMP importer, which I think is a
good step forward.

Thanks,  I think it is taking a pretty good shape too.  I tested the
latest patch and imported successfully all my pictures (jpeg, a few
hundred of them having tags with non-ASCII characters).

I have a few comments/propositions, see below.

Please try it and let me know how it works, and especially if I
 - am missing some tags

If you can just add the rating tag I discussed about in a previous
email, then F-Spot would retrieve both Urgency and Rating data and
would be ready for bug 326561 [1] :-).  Attached a small patch to
apply after yours - I tested it with a picture rated using Lightroom.

 - have some fundamental coding problems

It is a more generic feedback and just my humble opinion (so feel free
to ignore it) but I think F-Spot would benefit in a more structured
file organization (now 121 .cs files in src/) and more comments in the
code.

Here is a few propositions specific to the XMP patch:
XmpTagsMetadata.cs
- I am not sure how the variables (creator to captionwriter/rating)
are sorted.  Maybe capturing using comments where those variables come
from (exif, all the xmp stuff with dublin core, xap, raw, photoshop,
etc.) would help.  For example I wasn't sure were to add the rating
stuff (part of the XMP Basic Schema) so just added it to the end...
since there are a lot of possible metadata tags, it might be worth
doing.
- Maybe capture the rational behind the GetSingleRowData and
ProcessItemsList methods.  I think someone new to the code would
wonder why some tags are fetched using the first and others using the
second as the methods name are not very clear.

 - white space problems
 - missing whatever

Thanks for your hard work :-)

Cheers,

Cosme
