Re: Pushing patch for 342137

Hi Frederic,

Would be great if you could find a small solution to import the IPTC tags.
If we had a patch for this, then I am sure a lot of people would have been
happy :)

Anyway, if this should be in a plugin or part of head is yet to be
determined.

I think my XMP import patch (which is based on Gabriels GThumb tags
import) could be a good start. But not sure F-Spot reads/finds the various
IPTC tags though. There was a link to a C# library to read IPTC tags on
the mailing list a year ago or more.
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/f-spot-list/2005-April/msg00014.html
I tried a bit, but got lost and run out of time as well.
Not sure we should use his library, or try to get an IPTC class reader for
f-spot.
