Hi, Maybe you should consider to write the metadata into the pictures?
See: http://yorba.org/shotwell/help/other-files.html#writing-metadata I think it should be enable by default... 2011/10/14 Giampiero Salvi <[email protected]> > Hi, > Background: I use Shotwell the following way. I have a desktop > computer where I keep all my pictures and then I have a small laptop > that I bring with me when I am travelling that I use to download the > pictures from my camera and sometimes organize and publish them during > my longer trips. Both computers are running the latest version of > Ubuntu, and the version of Shotwell that comes with it. > > Problem: I do not want to keep the whole database of pictures on the > small laptop because of space constraints on the disk. So, after every > trip, I would like to copy the photos to the desktop and delete them > from the laptop. I can do this easily by copying the picture files > with tools such as rsync and then importing again. The problem is that > any information contained in ~/.shotwell/data/photo.db on the laptop > is not transferred to the corresponding database on the desktop. For > example, any tags I may have added using the laptop are lost. > > Question1: is there a good way to merge the SQLite databases without > breaking Shotwell functionality? > > Question2 (feature request): could it be possible to add a function in > Shotwell that merges the databases and copies the picture files > between different computers? > > Thank you for the great job you have done so far!! > Giampiero > _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
