#1 :

==> database update is already an option in Misc Setup dialog page.

==> About startup time, this will no take any more time that we have actually, because i'm use an instance of a new class named DMetadata using Exiv2. No image dedoder have been used to extract metadata. Exiv2 use a pure file parser (like it does with KFileMetaInfo).

An instance of DMetadata is created for each file parsed. This class extract Exif and IPTC metadata at once. After i just parse in memory the right tags. It's very fast.

Actually only JPEG file are parsed. In the future, We will parse more file types, like TIFF/EP, DNG, NEF, CR2, CRW, etc... Current Exiv2 implementation can support these file formats. Only in this case, startup will be decreased...

#2 #3 :

==> this can be very wierd to end user if we have importated 100 new image files with differents IPTC keywords (:=)))...

==> perhaps a setup to perform automaticly theses operations can be better.
