Carlos, et al --
I have loved watching all of this unfold! FWIW, I'm a hard-core command-line guy and I keep my originals untouched and immediately copy them to a parallel tree for stamping, editing, cropping, and so on :-)
Yes, there is a lot of sense in that.
One other suggestion, since in your rundown of tools I don't think you ever found one suitable all the way through...
It seems I have to use several tools, one for each thing.
What is the gwenview DB format? Can you parse it?
Probably sqlite, but I don't even know where the file is.
If you like the tool, go ahead and use it for "Stage 1", and then -- once you have comments for all of your files -- move on to "Stage 2" and use a script to extract the comments and apply them to the EXIF fields. Yes, that part is [delightfully :-] CLI, but you get to do your work where you're most comfortable.
Ha, quite complicated. Better use other tools to write the info directly where I want it. Anyway, I don't even know where is the database written by gwenview. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
