Import Windows (Vista, Seven) gallery (tags, and marks) in F-Spot  
Written by JazZ the 27 Mar 10 at 17:32. New
When I tried to convince somebody to try Ubuntu, he tells me "OK, but I need to import my pictures, with the preferences I have entered on Windows Gallery (tags, and marks). I have a lot of pictures on my computer, and I have spend lot of time to organize them."

I checked this option on F-Spot and I didn't find anything to do this. This could be a good idea to help Windows' users (and why not MAC OS' users which I don't really know) to migrate under Ubuntu (Linux in general).

I know that this should not be a priority for the community, but if it interest a developer, I am pretty sure that this option will be very useful.

Solution #2: Write an import plugin for Gwenview
Written by jeanpaul145 the 19 Apr 10 at 01:01.
Similar to Solution #1, but for KDE4's Gwenview. It has a plugin system in place, so it would make sense to utilize that for this purpose.

F-Spot should not touch files unless told so by user  
Written by PiHalbe the 21 Sep 08 at 18:06. New
When I import my photos to F-Spot it always changes the time in the EXIF-information. Every single file is edited. F-Spot should not do this, since it is importing, not modifying, which I ordered. I did not find any way to prevent it from doing so. Not even setting the files read-only.
