   <title>Photo files</title>

    <p>
    Every photo in the Shotwell library corresponds to a file stored on your hard disk.  Shotwell has
    several features which help you keep the Shotwell library and files on disk in sync.

    <section id="dirpattern">
        <title>Using a custom directory pattern</title>
        <p>
            Shotwell allows you to specify how it names directories in your library.  You can do this 
            by changing the <gui>Directory Structure</gui> and <gui>Pattern</gui> settings in the 
            <gui>Preferences</gui> dialog.  You may use a preselected pattern, or choose <gui>Custom</gui> 
            and type in your own.
        </p>

        <p>
            The available symbols for the directory pattern begin with a % (percent sign). The values 
            these symbols produce are locale-dependent, so what you see on your computer may vary
            from the examples below.

    <section id="automatic-import">
       <title>Automatically importing photos</title>
       
       <p>Shotwell can automatically import new photos which appear in the library directory.
       (The library directory is usually the <file>Pictures</file> directory in your home directory;
       you can change its location in in the <gui>Preferences</gui> window.)
       </p>
       
       <p>To enable auto-import,
       check the box <gui>Watch library directory for new files</gui> in
       the <gui>Preferences</gui> window.</p>
       
       <note style="advanced"><p>Shotwell can also follow symbolic links inside automatically-imported directories.</p></note>

    </section>

    <section id="automatic-rename">
       <title>Automatically renaming imported photos to lowercase</title>
       
       <p>
       Shotwell can automatically change the filenames of imported photos
       to lowercase.  To enable this, choose <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Preferences</gui></guiseq>,
       and in the <gui>Preferences</gui> window, check the <gui>Rename imported files to lowercase</gui>
       box.
       </p>

    <section id="writing-metadata">
       <title>Writing metadata on the fly</title>
       
       <p>By default, Shotwell does not modify photo files, even when you edit photos or change their
       tags or titles.  Shotwell records these changes in its own database only.</p>
       
       <p>To change this behavior, you can enable the checkbox
       <gui>Write tags, titles and other metadata to photo files</gui>
       in the <gui>Preferences</gui> dialog.  When this option is enabled, Shotwell will write
       the following metadata to most photo files whenever you change it in Shotwell:</p>
       
       <list>
       <item><p>címek</p></item>
       <item><p>címkék</p></item>
       <item><p>értékelések</p></item>
       <item><p>rotation information</p></item>
       <item><p>time/date</p></item>
       </list>
       
       <p>Shotwell stores this information in photo files in EXIF, IPTC and/or XMP format.  Note
       that Shotwell can write only to photo files in JPEG, PNG and TIFF format, not to BMP photos, RAW photos
       or to video files.  
       </p>
    
    </section>
    
    <section id="runtime-monitoring">
    <title>Runtime monitoring</title>
    
    <p>While Shotwell is running, it notices changes made to any photo file externally.
    When a photo file changes, Shotwell rereads the file and updates your view of the
    photo and metadata.</p>
    
    <p>Note that Shotwell checks all photo files for changes at startup, but only photo files contained in
    the library directory are monitored in real time after startup.  We hope to remove this limitation
    in a further release.</p>
