[Shotwell] Changing photo title

[Jim Nelson]

Shotwell makes a distinction between a photo's title and its filename.

The title is the filename when you first import it into Shotwell (because it
doesn't have a title at that point), but when you rename the photo it
doesn't rename the filename.  When you export the photo (or have Write
Metadata enabled in the Preferences dialog), it writes the title out as
metadata which other programs and services may interpret.

We have a ticket for renaming the photo filenames:
