[Digikam-devel] Metadata writing broken on recursive album view?

[Andi Clemens]

Yes, all are JPEGs.

My components:

digiKam version 1.0.0-beta2
Exiv2 can write to Jp2: Yes
Exiv2 can write to Jpeg: Yes
Exiv2 can write to Pgf: No
Exiv2 can write to Png: Yes
Exiv2 can write to Tiff: Yes
Exiv2 supports XMP metadata: Yes
LibCImg: 130
LibExiv2: 0.18
LibJPEG: 62
LibJasper: 1.900.1
LibKDE: 4.2.4 (KDE 4.2.4)
LibKExiv2: 1.0.0
LibKdcraw: 1.0.0
LibLCMS: 118
LibPGF: 6.09.24
LibPNG: 1.2.37
LibQt: 4.5.1
LibRaw: 0.8.0-Beta3
LibTIFF: LIBTIFF, Version 3.8.2 Copyright (c) 1988-1996 Sam Leffler Copyright 
(c) 1991-1996 Silicon Graphics, Inc.
Marble widget: 0.7.1
Parallelized demosaicing: Yes
LibGphoto2: 2.4.6
LibKipi: 0.4.0

With command line tool it takes a long time for all images (which I expected 
it to do), because it actually writes to all 500 files.

In digiKam it seems to be just written into the database, I will need to check 
if I can see the comments in the files.
