Cheers,
This is either a feature or a bug. Either way its annoying and I'm
wondering if there's a way around it. I am currently running Shotwell
0.12.3 under gentoo.
What happens is this.
1. I import in place a number of photos from a hard drive.
2. Once imported the photos are tagged and titled. They are not exported
to the photo exif.
3. At this point all is OK and remains fine if that's all I do.
4. I have small Tcl/Tk which is able to read the tags and titles from
the shotwell database for any photo or set of photos and will write
them into various fields in the photo exif.
5. The first restart of shotwell after doing this and all of the titles
of the modified photos are gone but the tags are fine. I suspect
that this occurs when update runs.
6. I then have a program which reads the titles from the photos and I
manually paste them back into the shotwell titles and after that no
further problems.
As can be imagined step 6 becomes a drag after a while. So the question
is why does this occur? Is there a way around it? If its caused by the
update function can this be turned off?
Thanks for any suggestions
chris
