 an idea for a (maybe) new feature: what about adding zone-tips like flickr 
 does?
 I mean the feature that lets you add a note on a zone of the picture.
 
 what do you think?

An expansion on this idea would be to allow facebook like person tagging
using that same technology.

Re: New idea: optionally write tags to file

 I have a request, even considered it can be useful (I'm not sure).

 I have write metadata enabled, so that tags and other stuff got
 written to the file.
 Sometimes it happens to me to create some temporary tags, used i.e.
 for managing pictures of the same events but taken with different
 cameras with wrong time.
 Those tags shouldn't be written to file as keywords!

 So I'm wondering: is this a stupid thing or not? I mean, it's useless
 to implement this, because a foo keyword into a jpg won't hury
 anyone, or can be considered as an option?


What I do is when I fire up F-Spot for a nice tagging session, I
disable the file-write. I then add all the tags I want. F-Spot is much
less slow this way. When I am done, I add a dummy tag to all the
photos (or, all the photos that I changed), enable file-write, and
then remove the dummy tag. That gets your XMP data in sync with the
F-Spot database.
