@coffeemonk, Thanks for your feedback, and no worries - we like hearing what our users really want. :) Clearly you'd like Shotwell to be able to store tags inside RAW files. I think that would be great, though as I mentioned above there are some technical challenges above. In particular, the exiv2 library used by Shotwell can't yet write metadata into many RAW formats. That may change, though; for example, there's a feature request to extend exiv2 to write metadata into Canon RAW CR2 files and it looks as if it may be implemented soon (see http://dev.exiv2.org/issues/show/635). In any case, I hope we can add this capability to Shotwell at some point.
By the way, F-Spot can't write metadata into RAW files either (at least not into CR2 files, which I just tried). @Bruno, I agree: it would be great to give this user this option. When we begin development of Shotwell 0.7 in a couple of weeks we'll think about this as a possibility. -- Store/read tags inside photos https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/579804 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
