[Digikam-users] Metadata

[Simon Cropper]

Hi Gilles,

I think Anders means that the program either allows you to do normal 
digikam type stuff OR write metadata to files.

What he would like is the ability to write metadata to his files while 
still being able to do other stuff (e.g. edit another image, browse 
albums, etc).

Usually if you save the metadata for a single file it takes less than a 
second but if you are tagging hundreds of files it could take longer. 
Personally the longest wait I have had is ~5-10 seconds to save data to 
~40 files. I suppose it is how you work and how many files you are 
manipulating at one time.
