Thank you for doing that Gilles. I have tested the new version and the
behaviour is the same: occasional errors in writing metadata to image files or
sidecars, when updating many images at once. (I updated the bug title and
component to be more precise.)
Another way to trigger the problem is "Album->Write Metadata to Images", which
is consistent since it rewrites the metadata of all images, and unfortunate as
one wants to use this menu item to clean up the metadata.
This does not seem to be a "straightforward" bug in Exiv2, as the problem does
not occur under linux, it is specific to OS X. The apparently random occurrence
may suggest some kind of overflow error. Is the bug necessarily in Exiv2, could
it be in digikam?
