First, geotagging without a map widget is IMHO useless. Second, you are right, more than one point could have the same time. I think your solution could be something like a 'professional-mode'. But, every solution should be able to show the resulting location on a map such that the user can accept (or refuse and/or adjust) it. However, I don't want you to prevent from implementing it. regards, Mike > > Cheers > Jan > > PS: You really use local time for your photos?

If I shoot a sunset and the time is 12:00 ... that doesn't sound real. I haven't problems with it so far. (when I travel across multiple time zones, I'm usually jet-lagged and do not take photos... :-)) _______________________________________________ f-spot-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/f-spot-list
