tracker-writeback(1) User Commands tracker-writeback(1)

NAME

tracker-writeback - Used to write metadata set in Tracker back to
physical files.

SYNOPSIS

tracker-writeback [OPTION...]

DESCRIPTION

tracker-writeback is not supposed to be run by the user since it is
started by its .desktop file when the user logs in. It can also be
started manually of course for debugging purposes. You can not run
more than one instance of this at the same time.

tracker-writeback writes metadata from the Tracker database back into
files only. Currently support is limited to XMP metadata (which
covers PNG, JPEG, TIFF, MP4 and 3GPP formats), play lists (which
covers MPEGURL, SCPLS and IRIVER formats) and taglib supported mime
types (which covers MP3, MP4, OGG, WAV, FLAC and some Windows media
formats).

Data is only written back if write-back is enabled in the tracker-
miner-fs configuration.
