Thank you :)
Metadata get read again in raw development, and I like having my Sony 
makernotes visible :) 

However, I hit another snag when developing RAW files (Sony ARW in my case):
it usedd to be that if I added an EV correction, and then decided it was too 
much, the new (lower) correction was applied to the original RAW output (i.e. 
an image update after having lowered an EV correction was less luminous);
with the 1.8.0 version, the second lower correction is applied to the already 
corrected image => severe over correction and no way to get back, except 
through an update in the RAW tab
(say I start with a correction of +.3, then decide +.2 would have been better:
in <=1.7.0 I ended up with a correction of +.2, 
in 1.8.0 I end up with a correction of +.5...)

Any suggestion about where the bug is (Kipi, Digikam, elsewhere)?
