Hello.

I've just begun checking out Shotwell and it looked very promising as a
photo manager. After searching the bug tracker I have a few questions to
start regarding meta data and batch operations.

1. Are metadata going to be exposed in an editing pane or dialog eventually?

I currently see in version 0.8 that I can edit the title and tags but I
don't see anyway I can edit EXIF or IPTC metadata directly. I'm not so much
concerned about the EXIF metadata but I like to update the IPTC metadata
extensively. In a previous Windows setup I liked to keep as much metadata in
the images themselves rather than in a database of some sort.

2. Are there plans to add batch operations for editing metadata?

Setting my images metadata is a huge part of my management process, both on
import and after import. I already use an external RAW editor so I'd like to
keep the number of applications required for my workflow down to a minimum
and batch processing of metadata would be a big help.

Thanks,
Jonathon.
