SYNOPSIS

10       tracker-writeback [OPTION...]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       tracker-writeback is not supposed to be run by the user since it is
14       started by its .desktop file when the user logs in. It can also be
15       started manually of course for debugging purposes. You can not run more
16       than one instance of this at the same time.
17
18       tracker-writeback writes metadata from the Tracker database back into
19       files only. Currently support is limited to XMP metadata (which covers
20       PNG, JPEG, TIFF, MP4 and 3GPP formats), play lists (which covers
21       MPEGURL, SCPLS and IRIVER formats) and taglib supported mime types
22       (which covers MP3, MP4, OGG, WAV, FLAC and some Windows media formats).
23
24       Data is only written back if write-back is enabled in the
25       tracker-miner-fs configuration.
