[KPhotoAlbum] wrong GPS position

[Reimar Imhof]

Hi Tobias,

thanks for your reply.

The problem is: The error is not photo related. It seems it could be any 
photo. If you add one photo at a time to the exif db it seems all good. The 
more you add at a time the bigger the chance you get wrong gps data. Or if I 
select about 10 photos and have the exif info read again there is quite a good 
chance that I get correct gps data (well sometimes even 10 is to much). But if 
I select a larger number of photos the chance is very big, that I get wrong 
positions.
What I've also seen after spending whole evening looking for gps positions: 
There are quite a lot of photos that got gps data that is wrong by perhaps not 
more then 50 km. There were only very little photos with terrible wrong gps 
info (put at the north pole).
So sorry, I can't provide you with a "prolbem photo".

Is this somehow a race condition? Some things working parallel causing 
trouble?

Cheers,
Reimar
