> Any downside to truning on the "Writing metadata to photo files" feature?
Your original photos will be modified (e.g., tag and title information will be written into them). For some people this is problematic because they like to keep their originals pristine. What's more, there are several RAW photo formats that Shotwell can't write into, so keeping updated metadata in Shotwell's internal database is the only option. That said, as support for working with RAW photos gets better on Linux (notably because of the evolution of the exiv2 library), we do plan to move to a world where Shotwell stores all relevant information in the photo files themselves.
