Florian, you're not wrong about this. This is also in our ticket database here:
http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1798 There are two separate questions here: 1. Where should Shotwell store metadata (such as keywords)? a) only in its own database b) in sidecar XMP files c) in the image files themselves 2) Where should Shotwell store full-resolution JPEGs of edited photos? a) in memory only b) in a separate file in the same directory as the original JPEG c) in the original JPEG file (renaming the original to something like photo007.orig.jpg) Today, we've implemented only 1a and 2a. Eventually I think it would be great if these could be user options, since I think it's unlikely that any particular choices here will make everyone happy. adam On 09/09/2010 02:29 PM, Florian Manach wrote: > I thought there was a ticket submitted by Ubuntu to save the > modification in a copy of the original jpeg so the modified version is > always accessible on the filesystem itself. > > Am I wrong ? > > Le jeudi 09 septembre 2010 à 23:18 +0300, Mattias Põldaru a écrit : >> Ühel kenal päeval, N, 2010-09-09 kell 08:48, kirjutas Adam Dingle: >>> Yes - we've thought about this too.
