I'll uncheck it again, and maybe it was a bit silly to test with that<br>
many inmages.<br>
<br>
The reason is that I use an external program (darktable) for processing,<br>
and it would be smart if meta data could be shared. For my planned<br>
workflow, in some cases the description would be used for adding a text<br>
to the image using darktables built-in facility for that. I'll find a<br>
workaround for now :)<br>
