Version: 1.1.0 (using KDE 4.3.1) OS: Linux Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages Running Debian Testing with the latest version of Digikam (1.1.0). This problem has been around for a while though. When viewing images in the view mode, and assigning a picture a rating, the cursor icon gets stuck as a cross in the upper thumbnail preview row. It's stuck like this until the meta data seems to have been written to the image. Also, while it hangs like this, I can not change directories or view other images. In the regular mode where I can assign ratings the "rating process" seems to get queued up properly and I can view other pictures, change directories and rate other pictures meanwhile.
After more research, it seems to be a D90 problem, which also led me to Bug 224094.
