Good morning, 

I'd like to, but I havn't tested the batch tool yet because it is not clear to 
me what it is intended to do... 

Can I please have a description of the intended functions, so that I can test 
if it does what it should? (Sorry if I'm a bit slow on the uptake, but I 
don't want to eventually report "errors" which maybe in fact are intended 
features :-) )

How and what does it sync? Does it...
- write all IPTC/EXIF info into the database?
- or write all infos from the database into IPTC/EXIF?
- add database content to IPTC/EXIF (or vice versa?)?
- or overwrite the existing?
- remove (for example) keywords from IPTC/EXIF if not tagged in database (or 
vice versa?)?
- etc?

thanks,

Daniel
