I'm slightly alarmed. I had pretty much decided to take the plunge and
migrate directly from f-spot to shotwell until I was faced with a
mixture of hierarchical and flat tags. I use tags a lot and suddenly
things were looking very messy and a bit scary, so I decided to go back
to f-spot while I still could, with the view of revisiting shotwell in a
more methodical manner.
With this in mind, and with the view of parallel running f-spot and
shotwell for a bit, I deleted and reinstalled. This time when I asked
shotwell to import my f-spot database, I made sure it did not have
"Write to Image File" checked. Then I kicked off the import. However the
imported files are being shown as modified, and when I look at the exif
data using exiftool I can see a File Modification Time coinciding with
the import.
Is shotwell modifying the images even though I've asked it not to, and
if so, in what way?
Thanks,
Dougie
PS: An annoyance with this behaviour is that I do a nightly backup of my
image directory to another machine using 'rsync'. And now after the
import the backup will think every single image has changed and transfer
the lot.
