I'm trying to find a tolerable workflow for getting pictures off a
camera, tagging them with keywords (saved with picture file), and
uploading to flickr. I think geeqie is pretty close; I'm glad I
stumbled on it!

I looked at the Todo document and saw that metadata handling seems to
be a big priority, and a search of the list archives turned up this
thread on keywords:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=200808171250.35061.nadvornik%40suse.cz.

I would like to add to this request of the ability to tag multiple
pictures with keywords simultaneously. I discovered you can sort of do
this by selecting multiple pictures, adding keywords, and then
choosing to add keywords to files, but if the last selected picture
has other keywords you don't want in the other selected pictures,
there's no real way around it. I tried removing the keywords from the
last selected picture, adding new keywords, and adding keywords to
selected files, but that erases the previously held keywords of the
last file. (It does, however, leave the previous keywords in the other
files while adding the new ones, which is the expected behavior.)

I'm coming from F-spot, which makes tagging really easy (but changes
your date/time values for you, too!). I don't know if there's a way to
implement a drag+drop tagging feature to geeqie or not, but even a way
to add new keywords to multiple files without reference to current
keywords of those files would be great.

Thanks for reading,

Todd
