[Digikam-users] why is import/transport so much slower than transform anlone?

[Daniel Bauer]

Hello,

I thoght I was a very bright boy, when I started to import 210 jpg's from a 
local folder into digikam album and at the same time transform them to png.
But after 60 images I stopped - it took 40 minutes so far...

I imported the remaining jpgs without transforming (took some seconds) and 
started a digikam batch job to transform the rest (153 images) to png. That 
took 12 minutes.

Why is there such a big difference? Did I miss something in the settings? 
Don't the batch job and the imprt tool use the same program for the transform 
from jpg to png?

Would be nice to do this transformation right with the import, would save some 
clicks, but of course only, if it worked about the same as the other...

Any ideas?

kind regards

Daniel
