Description S. Burmeister 2009-10-07 10:20:38 UTC
Version:           Rev: 1031814 (using KDE 4.3.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

If I select a dozen PNG pictures, each about 30MB and add a geolocation tag to them, i.e. menu image > geolocation > edit coordinates, digikam's GUI is blocked for the whole time the coordinates are written to the pictures. For a dozen on a AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4000+ with 2GB RAM this takes longer than 10 seconds.

Expected behaviour, do not block the GUI while writing coordinates.

Multithreading must be use there...

at least a progessbar would be nice - opening a gpx file for my 14 day holiday with 1500+ fotos selected takes more then 20 minutes with no sign of anything happening

I see this, too.  Doing it is 100X faster in 0.96.  How could it be that slow now?

There was a bug in libexiv2 (http://dev.exiv2.org/issues/show/677), which was solved last weekend with libexiv2 0.20.

I bet this was causing this issue here.

I think you're right.  My photos are Nikon also.  Maybe this bug should be marked a dup of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=224094, which describes what I have seen beyond just the geolocation marking slowness.
