Shameless plug. Did you know about Solang: http://projects.gnome.org/solang It is not as mature as F-Spot, yet, and its UI needs to be tweaked a bit to make it work nicely with smaller screens, but it uses Tracker for all sorts of things: tags, exif, searching. However it does not do imports from cameras. > Normally all you see if you import photos from the camera, is a batch of > files.

Sometime ago, on the Fedora lists there was a talk of a small dedicated photo importer application: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2008-November/msg00735.html Earlier, it was unclear to me as to what is missing in F-Spot or GThumb. But it looks like you have some ideas. Also, I think things can be improved to fit into the Tracker way of doing things so that the workflow fits in nicely with applications like Solang.
