Image editor

[Maik Qualmann]

Hi Nadine,

I'll answer here so everyone can see it, thank you for the test image so I 
could reproduce it. The problem is clear, for TIFF files we create a JPG 
preview image in Xmp.digiKam.Preview. If the size exceeds 65535 bytes, Exiv2 
will make an exception and the metadata will not be saved. We could make the 
previews smaller or increase the compression, but that leads to bad thumbnails 
with artifacts, we just had a bug report on this. Or we simply leave out the 
preview image and then have to load the entire TIFF image (slower). I have 
adjusted the maximum value we allow as a preview image. First of all, the 
problem should be fixed for the next pre-release version. If you have a image 
where the problem still occurs, please send it.
