It is probably too late for any participant of this thread to actually care, but if anybody finds this via Google, most of the "I just want to organize my photos and then process them with something else" camp can be very well pleased with jbrout (http://jbrout.manatlan.com/, packaged for most Linux distros, but check for the latest version). It stores all tags and info INSIDE of the image file (yes, it has cache for fast search, but it is not the authoritative storage of information). Also, it's trivial to have any external application on right-click-menu. Highly suggested.

Response from Shotwell team founder Posted Nov 28, 2011 11:59 UTC (Mon) by Velmont (guest, #46433) [Link] I did search for my own name to find my user ID on lwn, and lo and behold, a new answer. I'll look at it, looks rather nice. Would be interesting to see how fast it is. DigiKam is still, one of the fastest image browsers I've come across. DigiKam loads incrementally better versions of the image, and I believe it decodes the next picture when you have extra time as well. Maybe even it uses a free core on your CPU to do that, I don't know, but I do know that it's miles faster than most other software when looking quickly through huge pictures. Although I'm no fan of the copy on the website: It's noisy!! Very much so! ;-)
