Hello good people of the Internet it has come to my attention that thumbnails are a greater issue that I thought [^1] ; it now seems obvious to me that ID3 tags (or something similar) COULD and SHOULD be used for general purpose metadata, and MUST NOT be limited to mp3 files. Since this message is targeted to at least 3 audiences (Freedesktop, ID3 and Gnome people), I suggest creating a new mailing list or, preferably, use ID3's list if ID3 is deemed suitable for this purpose. have a nice day -J [^1]: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/278 ps: to freedesktop ML moderators: sorry I forgot to confirm my subscription to both lists before sending the mail, and ID3's message was rejected (Relay access denied (in reply to RCPT TO command)) so here it is again -- The e-mail address used as "sender" is a temporary e-mail address.
