Re: [Shotwell] Any progress on writing metadata back to Nikon NEF files?

[Jim Nelson <jim yorba org>]

Shotwell never could write metadata to RAW (i.e. .NEF) files:

However, there is an outstanding bug about writing metadata back to the developed JPEG version of a RAW file.  That's ticketed at:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=717899

No movement on either at the moment.  If there's enough demand, maybe someone in the community could step up to attack either, or both.  Bountysource is one possible way to generate interest with contributors.

One suggestion: If it’s not possible to write the tag to the file, the message in the log should be changed to indicate that.

I've pushed some improved logging to the MetadataWriter.
