The tags are stored inside the file. This is much better than using a database.
On windows I use IrfanView to open the images: Press i to view the info. GPS information is stored in EXIF data. Tags (keywords) and comments are stored in the IPTC data.
The tags on the images are stored inside the files, yes, but the list of available tags isn't. See ndi's post for details on its location, and how to reset it (you could also use gconftool with --get to retrieve the current values, then --set to upload an edited list).
got it, thanks. i shouldve tried the command. Now how come gconftool shows it but $ /apps doesnt exist. Can u explain for my understanding where is it stored? thanks in advance
brilliant from ndi, it resets image tags list. Doesnt necessarily answer but something is better than nothing

gconftool isn't looking at the file system, it's reading/writing configuration data in an XML file (not entirely sure where the XML file lives though). The /apps/... path refers to the nesting of tags within the XML file.
If you want to edit the tags, you should be able to use "gconftool --get /apps/osso/image-viewer/recent_tags" to retrieve the current list, then put the modified version between the "[]" in the --set command. I've not tried this myself though, as I don't have any tags on my photos.
