Hi Andreas,

I just discovered that my problems seems to be something else.
I reinstalled KDE and its libs and used the libkexiv and libkdcraw libraries
that come with KDE 4.2.3.
But unfortunately these libs seem to be broken, because every single RAW file I
tested (NEF, ORF etc) had this strange effect.
Normally I work with the SVN version of these libraries, but I wanted to see if
everything compiles fine when you use the shipped ones.
Sometimes you get user complaints that something is not working, you test it
and can't seem to find anything, because it is already fixed in SVN (or because
the current lib is just not compatible with current digiKam code).
So it is always nice to test features with the "old code", too! :-)

But this seems to be the problem here. Current stable / official libkeviv dcraw
etc seem to have an error that makes importing RAW files impossible in digiKam.

I still use exiv-0.18 and I can not confirm that metadata writing is killing
NEFs, but I will do further testings.

Gilles,

is it possible that the current stable versions of these libraries are broken?
Archlinux is a rolling release distribution, so you normally have all the new
stuff immediately. If Archlinux is broken, chances are that all the other
distributions are broken, too.

These are my components at the moment:

digiKam version 0.11.0-svn

Exiv2 can write to Png: Yes
