One quick question though: are > you sure you used only iPhoto to manipulate the image?

So yes, it is possible that other tools have manipulated those pictures before - but close to impossible to track them... sorry. However, this time it was an straight export from iPhoto - no tool or plugin manipulated the pictures, and then import to Shotwell. As you could see, not every single picture did create the bogus tag - but in my case the vast majority did. I think you got it clear in the ticket*... but in plain english, the pics that had an iPhoto "Keyword" were creating the proper tag in Shotwell (no problem), but pictures with no "Keyword" were creating the bogus tag using the Title as a tag - most of my pictures didn't have a "Keyword" so for me the import process created thousand of tags with lots of other problems. * [Tag created from] Xmp.dc.Title when Xmp.dc.subject is an empty XmpBag > Lucas > > On Mon, May 14, 2012 at 10:20 PM, Tonatiuh Medina <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Hmm... maybe that was not a good example. > > > > Please try again with the new pic attached.
