I'm a little unclear about what you mean by "when the flat tags will
be imported correctly...instead of becoming new root-level tags." If a
tag is a flat tag in F-Spot, whereby "flat tag" I mean that it has no
parent, then the correct behavior is to import it as a new root-level
tag in Shotwell, because, hey, it was a root-level tag in F-Spot. So I
don't understand the problem. Unless I'm missing something, which I
very well may be. ;-)
Sorry, I did not make myself clear: f-spot has a hierarchical tag
lists, but writes only 'flat' tags, in the Xmp:Subject field, in a
comma separated list.
At the moment, when you import from f-spot in shotwell, shotwell gets
correctly the tags hierarchy, but then it reads the tags from the
photos -- if you had them written in the files metadata -- and for
every tag that is not in the top-level in the f-spot hierarchy,
shotwell creates a *new* root-level tag, duplicating the one already
in the tags tree. I hope this is clear.
Any way, we have already a ticket for that, #4051, and I was asking
for news, because this bug renders -- for me and for people with tags
into the photos metadata -- the import from f-spot impossible.
The problem you're describing was #4081:
http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/4081 . It was fixed before the 0.11.1
release.
On a partially unrelated note, until one cannot select multiple tags
for moving them around the tree in shotwell, adjusting the tags tree
after each import would be a PITA.
Right. That's http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/2275 and is targeted for
0.12.
