Hi Bruno
thanks for getting back to me so quickly :-)
OK got that - it works - thanks - but I've still feel I've lost some
metadata.
If I did want to create a new tag(s) in f-spot from a subset(s) of my
favourites ( I don't know why but I used this feature a lot in f-spot- wish
I hadn't now!) is there a way to import the tag into an existing Shotwell
database (where the original pictures will already exist) without causing
problems with the existing Shotwell db / app? That way I could work around
the issue.
Sure. In F-Spot, go to Edit->Preferences and enable the option to store
tags and descriptions inside image files. Now tag the photos in
F-Spot. F-Spot will write the tag(s) to the photo files (you can verify
this by running 'exiv2 -pa' on the files). If you've imported these
same files into Shotwell, then Shotwell will notice the new tag(s)
immediately (if they are inside your library directory) or on the next
startup (if they are not) and so they will now be available in Shotwell.
cheers
