I now see the problem. I forgot that metadata writing for RAW+JPEG is currently unavailable: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/4156

I don't know when that will be implemented. Since Exiv2's support for writing metadata to RAW files is limited, the first step would be to update Shotwell to write to the paired JPEG.

Yes, now Shotwell is tracking the settings shown by dconf-editor.

The photos are raw/jpg pairs, IMG_1234.CR2/IMG_1234.JPG

assuming I've tagged the photo with 'dog', what would be the exiv2 command
line which would determine if the file is tagged?

- is the .CR2 tagged, only the .JPG ... both?
- where does the tag go: exif, xmp, iptc ...
- what is the name of the metadata which should have the value 'dog'?

Thanks,
Kent

Yes, that's the one. If you close Shotwell, check it in dconf-editor, and
 re-run Shotwell, does it appear checked in Edit -> Preferences?

 Ah-ha -- yes, the values in dconf-editor should reflect those in
Preferences. However, at one point in the past, we migrated our dconf settings from one place to another.

 Nothing of interest in the log file ... Suggestions? Thanks, Kent
