How about storing the tags embedded in the photos? And fixing up one event at a time, storing the information embedded in the photos, deleting the photos from shotwell, and then do the next event. When all events are done, re-import all events... That is in the below just add 3.5, delete all photos (step 1) again. ... 1. In Shotwell, select all photos and press Delete to move them to the trash. 2. Drag just the first event's folder (e.g. 2005/event1) into Shotwell. Shotwell will resurrect that event's photos from the trash back into the library. 3. The Last Import view will now show the resurrected photos, and you can tag them and edit their date/time as you please. 4. Drag the next event's folder (e.g. 2005/event2) into Shotwell. 5. Unfortunately, at this point the Last Import view will show both the photos resurrected in steps 2 and 4. This is possibly a bug. If it showed you just the photos resurrected in step 4, then you'd be able to tag and edit these photos, and repeat the process for all your events. ... I had to do this for F-Spot in the beginning.... _______________________________________________ Shotwell mailing list [email protected] http://lists.yorba.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/shotwell
