Re: Where is metadata stored ?

["Hugo Palma" <hugo m palma gmail com>]

Thanks for the answer, but your answer brings me to another question:

how do i achieve with F-Spot a way of managing my photo collection regardless of which PC i access it from ? Clearly the home directory db won't work for me because i want to be able acess the collection from another PC and still get all the metadata organization. Can i achieve this with "Write Metadata to File" ? Does it work with NEF files ? Does it also keep photo versions information ?

Thanks again,

Hugo

The metadata is stored in a SQLite database, which by default is the
file $HOME/.gnome2/f-spot/photos.db

For JPGs with EXIF, the tags are stored in the UserComments EXIF field,
i.e. in the photo itself. For other metadata formats, this is similar.
