[Digikam-users] Write Metadata takes long time

[Juergen]

Hallo.

I have the problem that it takes a long time for digikam to write 
metadate into files.

Technical details are :

Suse 11.0

AMD : Linux linux-4qg7 2.6.25.20-0.6-default #1 SMP 2010-01-14 18:58:36 
+0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

KDE 3.5.9 "release 49.2"

Digikam : V 1.1.0 with KDE Version 4.4.0 release 224

So, back to my problem.

Downloading images from my kardreader takes much longer than it did in 
previous versions. But, I can not tell you exact how long that is.

But, what makes the current version useless for me is that it takes so 
long to write tags into my image files.

It almost an hour to write just one Tag : Special->Original to 111 images.

The images are JPG images taken with my "Nikon D90" and they are about 3 
- 6 MB big.

For 12 Images to get one new tag added it took 3,44 minutes.

My settings regarding metadata are :

Rotate preview images according exif information
Set exif information to normal after rotation
Save image tags as "Keywords" tags embedded in metadata in files
Save image captions in metadata in files
Save image timestamp in metadata in files.
