Correct. | - Find the version of gThumb that worked best for you. | - Based on that find the Linux version that supports it. | - - Ubuntu 14.04? MX-17?

Thanks, but, um, no. Might as well install some flavor of Windows in a virtual machine and install Photo Shop in that version of Windows. I think you are joking. Somewhere on this very machine there is the mechanism whereby Gwenview calls kipiplugin_metadataedit. I do not know of an executable for this, which suggests that the executable is something else that takes kipiplugin_metadataedit as an argument. If that command can be found, then I can cobble together a RMB command that calls it. I've tried looking at the output when I run Gwenview from a terminal, but no joy. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://www.athensnews.com/opinion/columns/the_view_from_mudsock_heights/
