You sound like an advanced user here, remember with patterns we are looking at whats best for a "normal" user and given xfce's lighter nature putting in a lighter weight image viewer with less features kinda makes sence, lets face it many users just want something that lets them flick through the memes they downloaded from the internet.
I don't know why you'd expect another app to understand shotwells tag format unless it uses a common standard, given these things should only be recommended in the pattern you can always uninstall pix and install shotwell. If you want I could even teach you how to create "carlos' magical pattern" in your home repo that installs the exact list of software you want :-)
If I were advanced, I'd use Digikam :-p
My objection is to consider Pix as a replacement to Shotwell. No, it is far from it. If you propose it as an application to see photos, then Ok. But not as replacement to shotwell because it is not. A replacement must be able to do the same things.
I was suggesting the pattern potentially just needs something to view photo's and if people want more then that they can install there preferred application be it shotwell digikam or something else. Simple google searches will send new users to sites like https://itsfoss.com/linux-photo-management-software/ to help them decide for themselves. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
