Thanks, Vincent.

I've done an experiment using iPhoto to import a few images taken on one 
particular day, and can't see the tags I've applied to these images (although 
I've opted to have the tags written back to the images' EXIF data.

I now realise that Shotwell probably couldn't write the tags back as these are 
Nikon .NEF files. I'll check with a few JPGs, and see if the tags associated 
with these come up on the Mac, but as the vast majority of my files are in NEF 
format I'll clearly need to find a way of automating the transfer of this 
information or face a lot of unwelcome donkey-work.
