Hi,
I installed Shotwell 0.8.1 (on Xubuntu 10.10) and I'm experiencing some
problems with IPTC tags.
In Preferences I checked "Write tags, titles, and other metadata to photo
files".
I noticed that Shotwell doesn't write IPTC keywords in the jpg photos taken
with my Canon camera.
Only if I write an IPTC keyword in the file using the command:
iptc -a Keywords -v "value" "filename.jpg"
then Shotwell become able to modify the Keyword into the jpg file. I tested
IPTC tags with this command:
iptc "filename.jpg"
and with XNview under Windows.
It seems that Shotwell doesn't write IPTC tags if no IPTC data exists in the
file.
I'm a bit confused, because in http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/3044 this
ticket is said:
"Shotwell has a list of metadata tags for each type of metadata (titles,
keywords/tags, ratings, etc.) If none of the metadata domains is present
for that particular type, it uses the first one in the list regardless if
the domain is present or not"
