very good work, thanks

anyway, there are two ways of solving this issue, one easy, the other
difficult :-)
* easy mode: when allowing write metadata to images, ask for an option:
image metadata replace database metadata ("priority to the image
metadata") or database metadata replace image metadata ("priority to the
database metadata"). The rationale is that an image can be changed from
the operating system (think at the reloading of backup).
* difficult mode: merge the metadata in the two ways, but then I not
even imagine how one can sort the thing
anyway at the end the metadata should be the same everywhere!!
we could also have two more options:
* read meta data from image, write to database
* read meta data from database, write to image
