Digikam Progress Manager feedback

Julien T
Hello,

I've recently managed my upgrade to digikam 2.6.0 (ubuntu ppa) and
discover the new progress manager.

As I start to use it, when doing first step of my usual workflow,
browsing pictures and putting tags, the progress manager lists in the
task: "removing images tags" ??? (as an extra of "writing metadata to
files" which is progressing whereas removing seems just stalled at 0%)
is it just a name issue or is there on each attribution both
removing/adding (and 2 file writes if writing metadata is enabled) ?
As a corrolary, I'm asking myself if there is a log (optional or not)
to enabled every task going to progress manager and eventual details
(like starting and ending time, which action, which files) ? and to
know which are the ones which failed and need to be launched again
(manually or not).

Progress manager windows (in full screen view mode at least) seems
also to easily open itself, even after reducing it to be able to
continue tagging and being disturbed each time attributing some tags.
Maybe an optional settings to say "display progress manager at each
new task or not" ?

Also it seems, some tasks (removing tags above) are never exiting,
even waiting 5min and more (for basic metadata writing and 70-80% idle
on computer)

Thanks a lot.

Julien

Note: as seen a previous thread, some extra details
CPU: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N450   @ 1.66GHz
writing metadata settings are on
JPG files
Qt 4.8.1 (lubuntu 12.04)
I'm tagging a folder with more than a thousand pictures and I don't
wait end of task before treating next images, can do once or many
images at once
The "removing image tags" seems to never quit, waited 15min, exiting,
have finishing tasks progress bar, 15min later, still on, have to
cancel it to quit.
When restarting, how do I know what succeed, what failed, is there
anything to fixed ?
Bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=295263 seems similar but for
a different task even if the action is the same.
checking files with exiftool seems to show tags have be written but
not 100% sure everything was.
