As I'm trying to decide which photo organiser to use (between DigiKam, F-spot, and KPhotoAlbum) I would really appreciate the ability to move photos from one program to the other and to keep my tags intact. A user on the Digikam mailing list had mentioned that he would like to tag his photos 'in the field' on his laptop and to import them into the program when he gets home. I think that a kipi Import/ Export feature would solve both our problems. It would create an XML file similar to this:
<photo filename="/home/user/pics/beer.jpg"> <tag>People*Ester</tag> <tag>People*Studies*Eli</tag> <tag>People*Studies*Anna</tag> <tag>Place*Haifa</tag> </photo> <photo filename="/home/user/pics/music.jpg"> <tag>People*Ester</tag> <tag>People*Dotan</tag> <tag>People*Army*Jacob</tag> <tag>Place*Jerusalem</tag> </photo> This can easily be imported by any application, and it provides for hierarchical tags. (levels seperated by asteriks) What does the F-spot community think of this? Would you like to be able to work on the tags on the go and to import them later? And to easily move from application to application? This would also provide a secure way to back up the current sqlite database in an accessable manner. (any text editor could open it) Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com 332 _______________________________________________ F-spot-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/f-spot-list
