I'm glad you like our rating system! I should point out, though, that Shotwell stores ratings in EXIF data only when you export photos or drag them to Nautilus. (We are considering storing ratings and other metadata in photo files all the time in a future release, at least as a user option - that's http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1290 .) > However, now that I've rated some files, I'd like to copy them and create > another folder (external to shotwell) for emailing, sharing. > > Ideally, I would > 1.

Shotwell will copy the files and will embed their ratings in EXIF data. We might support copy/paste someday (http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1098) but we don't have that yet. adam _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
