Hi Frederic, Would be great if you could find a small solution to import the IPTC tags. If we had a patch for this, then I am sure a lot of people would have been happy :)
Anyway, if this should be in a plugin or part of head is yet to be determined. I think my XMP import patch (which is based on Gabriels GThumb tags import) could be a good start. But not sure F-Spot reads/finds the various IPTC tags though. There was a link to a C# library to read IPTC tags on the mailing list a year ago or more. http://mail.gnome.org/archives/f-spot-list/2005-April/msg00014.html I tried a bit, but got lost and run out of time as well. Not sure we should use his library, or try to get an IPTC class reader for f-spot. /Bengt On Må, 2006-07-24, 23:29, Stephane Delcroix skrev: > Hi Frederic, > > Converting IPTC comments to F-Spot tags is not considered for the moment > in the actual patch from Bengt. > The aim of this patch is to be the counterpart of the export of tags to > XMP metadata.
