Hi Kent, Did you try following Dougie Nisbet's suggestion and tagging and then untagging your entire photo collection? That should absolutely force metadata to be written out to the files. What's more, you asked "How do I confirm that metadata is being written?" Assuming you have several hundred photos or more, a progress bar should appear just beneath the Shotwell sidebar with the text "Writing Metadata to Files."
