Using F-spot in Ubuntu I'm able to tag pictures and the tags are then written to the image files themselves. This means that potentially if I move the files to another computer or have to re-install, the tags are still in the pictures rather than in some database. Thing is, I've not yet found any other system that reads the tags that f-spot creates.
Picasa appears to use a database rather that writing the information into the pictures.
If I look at the properties of the pictures within Ubuntu then I am able to see the tags as "Key words", however, when I look at the same file in XP the "Key Words" field is empty.
I'm going to keep tagging using F-spot and hopefully be able to find programs or scripts to read and convert the tags if I'm going about this the wrong way.
