I think the 350D is indeed slow speed, and compared to even a 1.1 card reader it's even slower yet, plus I heard of camera USB ports and entire brains zapped by the USB's voltage. I prefer to use card readers every time (and when I unload it's a nice 2-4 gig. the faster it moves, the better, so I use brand-name readers, they cost 20 NIS more and they make a difference) and a word for Nadav - all the metadata you ask for and more (tags included) is supported within EXIF and IPTC data on JPEG and raw formats. the best tool to manage them I used to date is Adobe Bridge (can't speak for Digikam till I tried), so an external sqlite should just reflect/index what's in the EXIF and not replace it, that way you can always trust every other app can use the metadata out of the box (if it doesn't use EXIF it's not worth your time anyway). -- The first of his kind Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
