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.
