[digiKam-users] Digikam-users Digest, Vol 209, Issue 26 - Very long processing to process 200 photos (Maik Qualmann)

[Maik Qualmann]

We would need to see a DebugView log to know what's going wrong with the 
metadata task.
Try to create a debug log:

1. Download and launch DebugView from Microsoft.
2. Activate internal debugging in the digiKam setup under Miscellaneous-> 
System.
3. Restart digiKam.
4. Run the metadata synchronization in the maintenance tool, maybe let it run 
for 5 minutes.
5. Post the output generated in the DebugView program.
