Now that I've got F-spot compiled, we have a problem actually importing the tags!
Three problems: 1) Imported tags are not assigned to photos. Example: I add tags to a photo in F-spot, then remove the photo from the ~/Photos directory and remove it from within F-spot. I also delete the tags from the tags list. I then close and reopen F-spot. I browse to the photo and import it. The photo is imported, and it's tags are imported (newly recreated). However, the tags are not assigned to the photo! I must manually assign each tag to the photo. 2) If I do the same procedure with Hebrew tags, of course I get the same result. However, instead of the newly created tag being in Hebrew, it is in a string of characters. For instance, my name (דותן) is restored like this: \u05D3\u05D5\u05EA\u05DF 3) Only the last tag in a heiarchy is restored. So People->Family->Ety is recreated as Ety. I do understand the technical reason behind this, and I don't need the issue addressed, however I felt it right to report it. I managed to get the whole Hebrew alphabet in order: \u05D0\u05D1\u05D2\u05D3\u05D4\u05D5\u05D6\u05D7\u05D8\u05D9\u05DB\u05DA\u05DC\u05DE\u05DD\u05E0\u05DF\u05E1\u05E2\u05E4\u05E3\u05E6\u05E5\u05E7\u05E8\u05E9\u05EA Where \u05D0 is Aleph and the final letters come directly after the corrosponding regular letter. (Nun Sofit before Ain, for example). I believe that the error concering #2 is in the importation of tags. This is because using another script written by a friend that mimics F-spot's XMP tags yeilds the same results. Also, I can create Hebrew tags and close/open F-spot and the tag remains in Hebrew. If a script can be created that goes through the tags and replaces, for instance, all instances of "\u05d0" with "א" then I could run that script. I can create an array with all the Hebrew letters and another with their corrosponding values. Any help in resolving the first two issues would be very much appreciated. I know you guys have already put a lot of effort into helping me get F-spot running, and that effort was also appreciated. We're almost there...
