Hi Tona,
I just tried to reproduce the problem you described with the
DSC_0240.jpg file attached to your previous message and I couldn't.
When I imported DSC_0240.jpg, only two tags -- "Photography Class" and
"Flowers" -- were created by Shotwell during import, as you can see in
the attached screenshot.
That said, there's a lot of variability over Linux installations as
regards what operating systems, libraries, etc., are installed. So to
help us figure out why this problem is affecting you and not us, could
you answer the following. What distro and distro version are you
running? What version of Shotwell are you running? How did you acquire
Shotwell -- did it come with your distro, did you install it from a
third-party repo, or did you build it from source? When you run these
commands
$ pkg-config --modversion exiv2
$ pkg-config --modversion gexiv2
in a terminal window, what do they output?
