Hi,

This background process must be ExifTool program used to parse files metadata.

> I started my computer. Actually, I haven't opened digikam yet. In windows task manager is listed a background process "Advanced digital photo management application" . Process utilization is approximately 30 % CPU and on "digikam"  usimng  approximately  1-2% CPU . In past I had started "face recoginiton" and also had started "Rebuild thumbnails".
> When I start digikam, in task mnager it is also listed as "Apps" with 4 sub processes. In Main Window it says "No active process".  Not all thumbnails are shown. Changing albums is very slow,sometimes like "hanging up". Now I close digikam app (menu), the background process is still running.
