Title:
Shotwell accepts f-spot tags with commas ('), but
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: shotwell
This is a bug about the way Shotwell handles importing a batch of photos
which have previously been managed by F-spot.
In F-spot there is no problem with having commas in the tag names, so a
tag like Surname, Firstname is fine.
I've thought a bit more about this and I think that commas are such an
integral part of english that it will just cause problems if Shotwell
continues to use them as separators. In order to have tags listed in a
useful alphabetical order using commas is the easiest solution. Some
examples:

Duncan,
thanks for the suggestion. I've created a ticket upstream at
http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2557
I think the easiest solution would be that if Shotwell finds commas in
imported tags, it could simply replace them with a different character,
e.g. '_'. How does that sound to you?

Replacing the comma with another character would be the fastest and
easiest fix I guess. It would probably be a bit annoying and would at
least require a message of some sort. For people used to F-stop they
might otherwise assume something went wrong and just add the commas
again. Hmm and Shotwell
