I hope not...
But... 
It's a bit disingenuous to launch the *executable* exiv2 /for each file in a 
directory/, and then ask whether Digikam is going to require "absolutely clean 
directories untouched by text and video editors"... Digikam decides which files 
to read through the exiv2 *library*, and it will ignore certain file types. 
'find' won't...
