OK, given the upstream bug report (http://dev.exiv2.org/issues/show/677) I:
1) created a patch of Andreas Huggel's fix that went into exiv2 0.20 (svn diff -r2016-2020, the revisions were consecutive). 2) applied it to an exiv2-0.19 source deb, and recompiled that deb and kdegraphics (provides libkexiv2). 3) installed digikam from apt (i'm on amd64). This fixes the performance problem for me. Here's the exiv2 patch. I will ping Andreas and ask whether he can sanity-check this. I would be extremely grateful if we could get this patch into Maverick! ** Patch added: "Backport of 0.20 Nikon performance fix to 0.19. Tested on amd64." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/exiv2/+bug/596327/+attachment/1702526/+files/r2016%3A2020.patch -- Digikam imports images taken with Nikon Cameras extremely slow, takes a large amount of time processing exif data https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/596327 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Registry Administrators, which is the registrant for Debian. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~registry Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~registry More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
