The biggest import needed one night long, estimated 10 hours.

ATM I don't think some pictures are a problem.

What I now today saw: if no picture is selected or if more than one picture is selected,
then the window with the enhanced information opens and shows nothing.
A message box, saying that there must be one qand only one picture be selected would
help here.

Maybe this was just the case (no picture selected),
which was irritating me.

I remember on some pictures I had used exifautotran.

Maybe that is making problems here.

A "fluke", if coming from software in my  eyes is a bug.

But some things mentioned above seem to be
not a problem of the database or display, but just, that
there was no pic selected and no information message was displayed.
