hi Marco, Maybe you could try with exiv2 (command line tool) to check your tags: exiv2 photo -> info exif exiv2 -px photo-> info xmp exiv2 -pi photo -> info iptc
i think Fspot stores the data in xmp. This is an exemple: exiv2 -px P1000425.JPG Xmp.dc.subject XmpBag 4 Grenoble 03/08, Kolja, Patinoire, Grenoble Xmp.xmp.Rating XmpText 1 0 my 4 tags in this picture are in XmpBag. cheers Laurent Marco Laverdière a écrit : > > Hi to all, > > > > I'm lost.
