For me, it all boils down to be able to have my pictures 'working'
with whatsoever software: I don't want to be bound to a single
application. I try to use all the equivalent tags so if I use photos
inside Wordpress or Picasa or Flickr or <your-favourite-web-place-for
photos> I don't have to do all the tagging again. Been there, done
that :-/

A good thing about geeqie (sudo apt-get install geeqie) is that when
you tag the XMP it translates automagically the tags into the IPTC
fields. Unfortunately, it doesn't maintain a database of your photos,
thus searching photos by tags is a PITA.

I still have to find the 'perfect' photo manager. I do things the unix
way: many specialised little applications doing just one thing, but
doing it well :-)

A note for the developers: wouldn't it be great to have a modular
system for Shotwell where one can decide to use one application for
tagging, another one for editing, another one for playing videos and
so on? Shotwell could call the configured preferred application to do
the specific operation and after that go back to the normal Shotwell
interface.

Ciao ciao,
