Brilliant - thanks, Martin, for giving me the confidence to move on - I'd been hanging back from upgrading from 0.7 on Lucid because it seemed too complicated. I got a suggestion at the end of the run of "sudo apt-get update" that I should run it again, and did so, otherwise it went very smoothly. Although I thought I'd gone through all my undated images and put exif data into them, I found another 320 in "No Event", which I'll need to tidy up. Being able to write the tags back to the images should help me with portability of images, but it's not clear whether this will happen to all images as soon as I choose to do this, or only for images imported from now on. Can you do the same job for 0.9? Michael _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
