This is quite ok for the permanent main categories... which current F-Spot do not have. How would it be with all user defined tags? To me it looks like we need some permanent tag names in one form or another. Below is a printout of the embedded XMP tags in a photo I have. As you can see, it is very detailed, and easy to get the meaning of the various tags. Paris, Hilton (Paris) and Paris are different tags for instance. > <?xpacket begin=" > " id="W5M0MpCehiHzreSzNTczkc9d"?> > <x:xmpmeta xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/" x:xmptk="Public XMP Toolkit Core 4.0"> > <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#";> > <rdf:Description rdf:about="" > xmlns:photoshop="http://ns.adobe.com/photoshop/1.0/";> > <photoshop:Urgency>8</photoshop:Urgency> > <photoshop:Instructions>Instructions String</photoshop:Instructions> > <photoshop:City>City String</photoshop:City> > <photoshop:State>State String</photoshop:State> > <photoshop:Country>Country String</photoshop:Country> > <photoshop:TransmissionReference>Job Identifier > String</photoshop:TransmissionReference> > <photoshop:Headline>Headline String</photoshop:Headline> > <photoshop:Credit>Provider String</photoshop:Credit> > <photoshop:Source>Source String</photoshop:Source> > <photoshop:CaptionWriter>Description Writer > String</photoshop:CaptionWriter> > <photoshop:AuthorsPosition>Creator Job > Title</photoshop:AuthorsPosition> > <photoshop:SupplementalCategories> > <rdf:Bag> > <rdf:li>Categories 1</rdf:li> > <rdf:li>Categories 2</rdf:li> > <rdf:li>Categories 3</rdf:li> > </rdf:Bag> > </photoshop:SupplementalCategories> > <photoshop:DateCreated>2006-09-16</photoshop:DateCreated> > <photoshop:Category>Category String</photoshop:Category> > </rdf:Description> > <rdf:Description rdf:about="" > xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/";> > <dc:creator> > <rdf:Seq> > <rdf:li>Creator Name</rdf:li> > </rdf:Seq> > > </dc:creator> > <dc:subject> > <rdf:Bag> > <rdf:li>Keyword 1</rdf:li> > <rdf:li>Keyword 2</rdf:li> > <rdf:li>Keyword 3</rdf:li> > </rdf:Bag> > </dc:subject> > <dc:description> > > <rdf:Alt> > <rdf:li xml:lang="x-default">AppleMark

Not to easy to differentiate, as well as have permanent tag names. /Bengt _______________________________________________ F-spot-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/f-spot-list
