Hello Sven and list, Before somebody starts spending time writing such a tool from scracth, I wrote a python script to migrate from f-spot to digikam. I have used it with my collection of around 10000 pictures and works pretty well. At least for me, since I could not test this with any other installations! It can migrate tags and ratings (the most important settings for me) and the comments as well. https://bitbucket.org/rolandgeider/f-spot-to-digikam Roland _______________________________________________ f-spot-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/f-spot-list
