[KPhotoAlbum] kphotoalbum method of storing Tags, description

[Karl Schmidt]

Dug around the web pages - I'm not finding the method kphotoalbum uses to store annotations, tags 
etc.  IMO the best place to store this information is in the file itself.

I'm looking for a system that stores them in the picture file as EXIF or better XMP - is this what 
kphotoalbum does?


In my quest I read where people were complaining that gimp overwrote exif information - (I'm running 
Debian with gimp 2.6.10-1 ) Is this still an issue?

My quest is to find a good method of annotating photos, that won't become obsolete or unsupported 
over time (which means storing the tags and comments in the photo file via exif of xmp).

I would love to read something that explains the pros and cons of EXIF vs XMP for annotating photos.
