[Shotwell] Writing tags to original files

2010-09-29 Thread Michael Hendry
There appears to be no facility for writing the tags attached to all (or
a selection of) files back to the original files.

This would be a very time-consuming task, I realise, but could be
offered as an option when Shotwell is closed down at the end of a
session on an incremental basis.

This would ease my concerns about the potential loss of many hours of
work in classifying and tagging images, and allow (heaven forbid!) a
change to an alternative photo-management tool.

Brilliant!

I haven't yet got round to downloading source files and compiling
locally, but I can afford to wait for a stable release.
