Hello Everyone,

First I would like to say that I have indeed checked the forum and thread(s).
The only one which I could find related was the following:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=34817

However it appears on the most recent firmware version I don't have an "osso" directory under apps.

I have also tried several EXIF image editing software for my Mac running 10.6.x however I am still unable to edit or modify EXIF data. The issue I am seeing in the event this is a bugzilla is that all my images share the exact same EXIF tag information. I have tried to delete the information via the N900 and 3rd party Mac tools yet it's still displaying this cloud effect as mentioned in the link above.

Has anyone been able to find another fix or work around for this issue?

Has anyone tried to create a python script or even an application to clear out EXIF tag information to allow the inputting of your own information via N900 built in method?

Any help with this is greatly appreciated because finding those few "wallpaper" size images out of 3000+ is a real pain.

/apps/osso/... isnt meant to be a filesystem path. It is a path within
gconf. The tags are stored by gconf. The key for this value is
"/apps/osso/image-viewer/recent_tags"
You can use gconftool to see this entry:

gconftool --get --list-type=string /apps/osso/image-viewer/recent_tags

or clear it
gconftool --set --type list --list-type=string /apps/osso/image-viewer/recent_tags '[]'

Wonderful information! However, all my images are still sharing identical tag information across the 3000+ images.

I verified that the EXIF recent is in fact [] as per your instructions however I am still getting "junk" EXIF tags. I can't think of another way to either edit or clear the EXIF information because even images I create with no EXIF information seem to inherit the tags.

Is it possible the EXIF from one image is overriding the cloud EXIF tags?

I am obviously very confused as I never really had to deal with EXIF information much until now. I would like to avoid it however there doesn't seem to be a good fast way to sort images by certain properties much like you can tag information.
