Hi Andi

I use the ext3 filesystem.

And, I have the feeling that it has nothing to do with filesystem 
because, as posted in my last mail, if I use exiv2 cmd line the tags are 
written fast to my files.

Also, if I write the tags to image my daughter has taken with her Canon 
Powershot it goes in a flash.

With these Canon Files digikam has no problems.
