---- Reported by shotwell-maint@gnome.bugs 2010-07-01 14:43:00 -0700 ---- Original Redmine bug id: 2239 Original URL: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/2239 Searchable id: yorba-bug-2239 Original author: Bengt Thuree Original description: If Shotwell should replace F-Spot, it needs to import all the tags that F-Spot imports as well as writes. F-Spot handles the below IPTC Location tags… And I think Shotwell should as well. Xmp.photoshop.City Xmp.photoshop.State Xmp.photoshop.Country Xmp.iptc.Location Xmp.photoshop.Source I have submitted test photos earlier that contains these tags. Related issues: related to shotwell - Feature #1473: geographic tree in sidebar (Open) ---- Additional Comments From shotwell-maint@gnome.bugs 2011-05-30 01:18:00 -0700 ---- ### History #### #1 Updated by Bengt Thuree about 3 years ago Any thoughts of this one? #### #2 Updated by Adam Dingle about 3 years ago I think it will make sense to import these tags when we implement a geographic tree in the sidebar (#1473) which can use these tag values nicely. That didn't happen for 0.8, but is a feature we could consider for the next couple of releases since I know many users would like this. #### #3 Updated by Bengt Thuree about 3 years ago I have 30,000+ photos tagged and all in F-Spot, so am a bit cautious in moving to Shotwell to early before all my existing tags can be handled… #### #4 Updated by Anonymous over 2 years ago * **Keywords** set to _iptc, xmp, metadata_ #### #5 Updated by Andreas - over 2 years ago For my photos I use keywords (of course), but also use the IPTC Location tags. It would be really nice, if I could edit them using shotwell. At the moment I need a seperate program just to add location tags – and it's a lot of work to change them. Please, add at least a way to view & edit these tags as soon as possible, even if you can't search for that information etc. --- Bug imported by chaz@yorba.org 2013-11-25 21:45 UTC --- This bug was previously known as _bug_ 2239 at http://redmine.yorba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2239 Unknown Component Using default product and component set in Parameters Unknown version " in product shotwell.
