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 :-) ...and then Carlos E.

Shotwell is a % candidate, but I'd prefer something similar to gwenview, because it runs % faster and doesn't "import" photos. A GUI tool, not CLI. [snip] One other suggestion, since in your rundown of tools I don't think you ever found one suitable all the way through... What is the gwenview DB format? Can you parse it? 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.
