This is not on the topic of the thread, but there a many reasons NOT to 
write metadata to files.

I don't want to give my clients photos with my personal evaluation nor 
with the indexing keywords under which I catalog them. I don't want 
clients or models real names appear in images.

If I'd have tags in the images meta data I'd always have to be VERY 
careful to strip them before delivery or upload on any website. I'm sure 
I'd forget it from time to time or upload a tagged version instead of a 
stripped one. This could have consequences...

So this is ONE reason not to have tags in image files. For sure many 
more exist. For sure also many reasons exist to have them written to the 
files and it is very good, that it is possible for those to whom it 
serves. I for my part am happy that I can choose not to save my tages in 
the images...

Have a beautiful night.

Daniel
