Description Ferdinand Gassauer 2011-07-31 07:15:54 UTC 
Version:           2.0.0 (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

IMHO it could save a lot of time to generate  thumbnails and fingerprints in one go, especially if a big number (~50000) images are on a NAS 

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
click create fingerprint

Actual Results:  
rereads the images from a NAS

Expected Results:  
generate fingerprints during thumbnail generation

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.37.6-0.5-desktop
Compiler: gcc

Yes, i plan to merge all batch operation to a common tool where you can setup more than one task to do at the same time.

This is related to the fact, mentioned in another report, that we should use the thumbnail to generate the fingerprint; then you'll have thumbnails for free after generating fingerprints.
