Re: [Tracker] Tags in Tracker

[Ivan Frade <ivan frade gmail com>]

Hi Benjamin,

 By default tags are only in Tracker. If you explicitly enable the
writeback option on compilation time, then they will be written into
the files but ONLY for images and ONLY in certain formats. If i recall
correctly: JPEG, PNG and TIFF.

 Regards,

Ivan
