The reason I asked is because Shotwell has two modes: library mode and direct-edit mode. In library mode, Shotwell doesn't touch the master file on disk unless the user explicitly says it's okay, such as writing metadata
In direct-edit mode, when you make edits to a file and choose File -> Save, it will overwrite the file. This is the mode you're in when you run Shotwell from EoG. I was just making sure this is what's going on. I took a photo, modified it in direct-edit mode, and saved it. I then ran this command for each: $ exiv2 -pa IMG_0001.JPG > orig.txt $ exiv2 -pa IMG_0002_saved.JPG > saved.txt Then I did a diff (using meld) of the files. I see no changes other than a couple expected modifications. What do you see when you do this experiment? -- Jim On Mon, Sep 26, 2011 at 11:53 AM, Alex <[email protected]> wrote: > Jim Nelson said the following on 09/26/2011 02:27 PM: > > Are you using Shotwell in direct-edit mode (that is, you right-clicked on >> a photo file and chose "Open with Shotwell")? >> >> -- Jim >> > > I'm usually previewing images with Eye Of Gnome on Ubuntu and click the > Edit button.
