That certainly needs some kind of database. I remember some discussions
on that, has there some kind of consensus been achieved?
I'd personally like some kind of SQL database, for this would allow me
to use the search functions of that DB.
I might even donate some number of hours to it, and i've got experience
with the C-level programming of clients of the three major free SQL
databases.

that would be nice.

Oh yes. Just for the record:
One small annoyance: i edit the comment field for some image, mark the
default "OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA" text my camera inserts there with the
mouse, and type "abc". It works, somehow - the text is replaced by "a bc"
(the number of space characters varies, i've seen two to nine). This is
saved like that:
<rdf:li xml:lang="x-default">a bc</rdf:li>
I've no idea whether this is somehow specific to my setup, but i'm seeing
it at the linux desktop (unpatches geeqie from current git) and on the
macbook (geeqie 1.0 with some local patches).
And i really have no idea what's going on there.
Another small annoyance: i often try to enter keywords into the left
keyword fields. When i type "test" i get three lines - t, e, s (git
version, need to recheck on the mac).
A bigger one: When the changes get saved, they are written to the .JPG
and, for the sidecar RAW file, the .xmp file. So far, so good. Now i edit
the .xmp file in another program. Geeqie, when entering the directory the
next time, reads the metadata from the .JPG file, and later overwrites the
.xmp, if some changes were done. That means one set of changes is lost.
Another one: Saving to the .JPG modifies the file date, which pan view
depends on. Some warning in the preferences might be warranted.
The biggest, though, is finding my keywords in the right keyword field -
some kind of search function would be nice.
One unrelated wish:
i'd like some way to copy meta data from original.jpg to
saved-by-gimp-with-broken-xmp.jpg (that is, both file names have no
clear connection, though i could change my workflow somewhat).
Gimp, in all versions i've ever tried, either deleted all metadata or
screwed something up, and it certainly is not the only program with this
annoying habit.
Gruß, Uwe
