- may be safest-- as the default on Ubuntu, this should be expected to be the one that at the least has the most migration scripts written for it eventually to better options!

Metadata in pictures is actually very well supported in Ubuntu, but there’s a catch - there’s no simple GUI that gives you the power to add / remove / edit metadata, however it is possible with the help of a few scripts to be able to easily change metadata in pictures within the nautilus file manager.

The package you need is exiftool
sudo aptitude install exiftool

I will be posting soon on the Ubuntu forums http://ubuntuforums.org/ how to add / remove / edit metadata from many different picture (and non-picture) formats.

exiftools combined with a few bash scripts and nautilus makes for truely powerful metadata tagging.

kphotoalbum is what I use for metadata management. It’s real strength is searching, since I have about 4000 photos (so far!) it helps a lot!

blueMarine is alive and kicking - there have been around 2500 code commits since the latest release in October, but I was able in the meantime only to provide untested snapshots. One of the reasons is a completely new facility for managing metadata, which required quite a few changes in various parts of the application.
