NAME
       tracker-writeback - Used to write metadata set in Tracker back to phys‐
       ical 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 MPE‐
       GURL, 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.
