Gilles, I am afraid that I don't get it -- I've got libkexiv2
4.2.3-92 (and KDE 4.2.3) library installed from openSUSE KDE4
Factory repository (the same as digikam packages).

Do you have some information if packages in KDE4 TRUNK repository
will be better and fix that problem?

Or maybe there is a possibility to get good libkexiv2 from another
repository? Or compiling by myself from sources, but I don't know if
I could compile only 1 library in KDE from sources (and not whole
big KDE, I am week at this).

I hope I will solve this problem, tagging a few tousands of
PNG/TIFFs from command line in various directories takes a lot of
time. In digiKam it is fast and easy.
