Bug Description

I would like to have my tags written in the image file, so I checked the option "Write tags, titles, and other metadata to photo files". It seems to work with jpeg photos but not with PEF or DNG. I have restarted Shotwell.

Test case:
1. Start Shotwell having jpeg, PEF and DNG files in the library and the option above checked.
2. Add a tag to a PEF and a DNG file
3. See that the file dates do not change
4. Add a tag to a jpeg file
5. See that the file date changes

I would expect Shotwell to update the DNG file and to update the xmp-file accompanying my PEF-file.

Thank you for your bug report.
Currently shotwell can neither write any metadata directly to DNG files, nor does it support xmp files. Both issues are already reported upstream, you can track them and make comments at:
