Compatibility with Tonfotos? (and Google Picasa)

Aspect Feature Requests
1

Tonfotos is a similar photo library application that uses a distributed database of ini files, similar to Google Picasa, to track photo tags and faces. I haven’t had a chance to test Aspect, but since it is in beta, would it be possible to integrate with Tonfotos (and Google Picasa, too, since it uses the same style of tagging)?

I started a thread RE: compatibility with Tonfotos on their forum here

This is definitely something to think about. We still have a few features to implement before getting to face detection and object recognition, so this could be a way to somewhat fill that gap and already prepare for full support. I’ve created an internal ticket (#1308) to keep track of this.

Regarding tags, we read and store those in the form of standard XMP/ITPC metadata (usually in the form of sidecar files), so that should ideally already be interoperable.
