I'm a BIG fan of digicam because you can store your rating, tags, descriptions, .... into your images also amarok store your additional informations in the music file. I know baloo is "cool" BUT what is when I install a new system, I switch to another Desktop Environmental, .... I want to have my additional work in my files. When something was changed on my system I don't loose something.
my father in low told me that lightroom don't store the ratings, .... into the files and when he make a backup and want to use the backup everything was lost because the backup don't copy the ratings, ... so he don't know what to do when he buy a new computer. baloo is for find my audio, video, ... and some other software should store my additional work in the files (images, audio, video, ...). thanks Andreas 2015-08-01 23:03 GMT+02:00 Ing.
