> Metadata is not being written whatever I've tried. Okay. This is a significant problem and highly unusual behavior. It may have to do with file permissions or with something else peculiar to your setup. Either way, let's figure out what's going on. What would be helpful here is if you could generate a Shotwell log file to see what errors, if any, are being generated when metadata writing should occur, but does not. To learn how to turn logging on, see the "I found a bug in Shotwell. How can I report it?" section of the Shotwell FAQ here: http://redmine.yorba.org/projects/shotwell/wiki/ShotwellFAQ.
While running Shotwell with logging turned on, do the following: (i) Open the "Preferences" dialog and ensure that the "Write tags, titles and other metadata to photo files" box is checked. Even if it is checked, uncheck it, close the preferences dialog, open the preferences dialog again, re-check, and close the preferences dialog again -- this way we'll have logging information about writing the value of this flag to the configuration system. (ii) Open an event or a tag. Select all the photos in it. Add a new tag to the photos. Leave Shotwell running for another few minutes to see if metadata writing kicks in. If it doesn't, then quit Shotwell and email the log file you captured to [email protected] (NB: the domain there is just yorba.org, not lists.yorba.org -- this way you'll send your log directly to the dev team, not the public mailing list).
