Original author: Bengt Thuree
Original description:

Some people do not want to modify the original photo image at all, as well as
a raw photo format do not contain any metadata at all.

In these cases it would be good if Shotwell would handle storing/reading
metadata in an optional sidecar file.

Should be an option to store metadata

a) If possible embedded, if not, then external sidecar file. (default)

b) Always embedded in photo

c) Always as an external sidecar file

d) Both embedded (if possible), as well as external sidecar file.
