--- Comment #28 from Andreas Huggel <ahuggel at gmx.net> ---
Marcel, writing metadata to different images in Exiv2 is reentrant in the same
sense as the underlying C stdio functions are. Exiv2 doesn't use any shared
buffers.

However, while Exiv2 is writing metadata to an image, read and write access to
that file should be blocked. Exiv2 doesn't explicitly do that (maybe some OS
does).

For the temp file name, I'm quite open to change that to whatever is needed. If
I understand correctly, so far we have
- start with a dot
- identify it as a temp file from Exiv2

-ahu.
