slowness when applying metadata

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi,

Another test will be the 8.7.0 pre-release installer for Windows when
it will be available, probably the weekend.

See the bug report here : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=501236

For the moment digiKam does not start due to missing dlls. I work on it.

In this new installer, Exiv2 has been updated from 0.28.1 to 0.28.3.
Also ExifTool is upgraded to the last version published. This can
help.

My best

Gilles Caulier
