[KPhotoAlbum] Three issues with KDE4 KPA

[Jesper K. Pedersen]

Thanks for the patch, it has been applied. Regarding speed. I don't really 
have a base line version anymore, so I can't really judge that.

Cheers

|    to fail in this case; just skip the file and move on.

| 2) I'm unable to display any .crw files from my old Digital Rebel: in
|    the viewer I get either a black screen, or the previous image (if I
|    was previously viewing something else).  No message is printed when
|    this happens.  This is a regression (a rather serious one) from the
|    KDE3 version.  I vaguely recall there had been a similar problem
|    there at one point.
| 
| 3) By default, items in category view are listed in reverse order
|    (e. g. folder names or keywords sorted z-a).
| 
| 4) Displaying thumbnails seems a bit slower than in KPA3.  When the
|    thumbnails are in cache, there's a hesitation of maybe 1/4 second
|    when scrolling (with page down/page up).  With KPA3, it was
|    instantaneous.
