8.3.0 pre-release running slow

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi Nadine,

Maik has also fixed a bug about the metadata handling with Exiftool,
called more than one time by items which slow-down the application.

This also occurs outside the startup stage. As I see plenty of
ExifTool calls in your log, it's not negligible.

>From you log, at startup these errors are also abnormal:

I need to recompile the whole digiKam for Windows to fix it, as I
changed plenty of code in the geolocation part which breaks the binary
compatibility. There is a cache mechanism in the Windows compiler
which does not handle all code changes and does not recompile whole
code as expected.

I will recompile the Windows installer today.
