--- Comment #3 from Maik Qualmann <metzping...@gmail.com> --- If you use a metadata option (meta:) in your (last) rename string, the metadata of all images must be read. Only selected metadata is contained in the DB. Since digiKam-8.4.0 we even use a metadata cache so that the content does not have to be read again and again every time the rename string is changed. It will not get any faster... A thread would be conceivable, but the metadata still needs to be read... Maik -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
