I'm in the process of moving to a position of using this as my central organisation tool!

Today I tried them and found the following: - tagged a picture in F-Spot (supposedly with XMP, as that's the only "write" one in your article) with a rating, tag and comment - opened the picture from gThumb and the tags were not displayed (probably as I was using the "stock" version) so I tagged another picture with category and comment - opened first and second picture from Geeqie (that you mispell as Geekie) but neither the tags or comments from the first or second software are recognised, while giving me the option to tag and comment them again... I played with tagging on Windows software before and at least they seemed to use the standards as expected, even giving details about the specific IPTC and XMP keyword being written/read. Plus they would allow me to geo-tag them via Google Earth ! I just fully moved to Linux so am still trying out a few combinations for a practical desktop but I'd appreciate your feedback on my issues...

Among other useful stuff, ProStockMaster reads EXIF and reads+writes IPTC and XMP data in JPG images. You can search local DB for the keywords you added, sell your images online through supported stock agencies etc. Free version is available, limited to 5 uploads daily (no time limitations - use as long as you want) - good to start with for anyone, who wants to try out stock photography. We also welcome beta-testers for the upcoming Linux release.

Best application for tagging that I could find when I was starting my indexing. Am curious how it is keeping up. Hoped you would cover KPhotoAlbum.

Apparently it does IPTC but only reads XMP - don't quote me on that though. Check http://groups.google.com/group/PicasaSomethingBroken/browse_thread/thread/5178c241cfc45b62 for a discussion about that. Take care, Joel Hi Dave,
