Creating a Home Inventory with F-Spot (video)

By Chad Files on March 27, 2008 (8:00:00 PM)

With fires, thefts, and natural disasters it is a good idea to have a home inventory. In this video I am going to show you how to inventory your house using a digital camera and F-Spot on a Linux desktop.

The video covers the following:

* Taking photos and retrieving serial numbers.
* Importing photos into F-Spot.
* How to tag and organize photos with F-Spot.
* Configuring F-Spot to store comments and tags inside of each photo's metadata.
* Using comments in F-Spot to store serial numbers and descriptions.
* Making a backup of the photos to go off-site: copy to a USB drive. post to Flickr or Picasaweb, burning to disc.
