Your English is great! :) I've been using Shotwell for a year more or less, and it has helped me a lot organizing all my digital photos from 2003 to present, creating events and adding tags, titles and all other metadata to the pictures directly keeping in mind that in the future i want to backup and restore the database and all the photos from one PC to another, or when reinstalling a new OS. I'm glad Shotwell is working for your large collection. Since jpeg is a lossy format, I was wondering if everytime I write metadata to a photofile the file suffers a loss. If so, I am considering converting all my photos (thousands) to .png format, which seems to be lossless. Am I wrong? There's no cause for concern here. When Shotwell writes metadata to a photo file it leaves the image data unchanged. There's no reason for you to convert to .png.
