debug log

When attempting to perform reverse geocoding on a selection of images with valid GPS coordinates, the process either hangs indefinitely  or proceeds at an unusable speed.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Open the Geolocation Editor (Ctrl+Shift+G).
Select a group of images with existing GPS coordinates.
Navigate to the Reverse Geocoding tab.
Select a service (e.g., Nominatim) and click Apply Reverse Geocoding

OBSERVED RESULT:
The progress bar remains stationary or moves extremely slowly (e.g., one image every few minutes). The application may become unresponsive ("Stuck") during the network request phase.

The speed depends on your internet connection and the load on the service you're using. We have no control over this. Remember, you're using a free online service.
All the "fail" messages are not from digiKam, check your system.
