https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=188925 Summary: Update of image metadata occurs in foreground.
Product: digikam
Version: unspecified
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo:

ReportedBy:

Version: (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS: Linux
Installed from: Fedora RPMs
I selected 2000 images, then applied a tag.
I then could do nothing else while digikam updated the images.
Expected behaviour:
Image metadata is handled by a background process, and the program remains
ready to serve user.
Implementing ideas:
* Database is updated immediately. Database has flags indicating that images
are not in sync.
* Changes in metadata are also written to a journal file.
* Updater program is started. It starts reading journal entries, writing them
to the files, and clearing the journal entries.
If updater runs as a separate process then it can finish after digikam closes.
For the duration of the updater process, the affected pictures are flagged as
not being in sync. If user edits a picture, then updater skips the data for
that pic, coming back later.
If program halts, then journal is left un-run. Updater is started on next
start of digikam.
Would this work?
