I would also prefer metadata to be stored in files, if only to save a
problem the next time that I move photo programs.

More important than my "me too", I have an additional use-case. We
currently have a server with our shared photos and we access them over
the network. Any changes to a local database would not be picked up by
the other machine. This would also make it slower to update file-based
tags, but a background task should be okay.

One additional thought that is probably worth considering is an option
to strip out some of the tags on export, though I can't immediately
think of too many sensitive tags. It may not be a bad idea generally,
though, if people start uploading "picture of my garden" photos to the
internet with GPS tags (inserted automatically by some cameras).
