Fspot hanging (or being slow) while tagging photos

["Dotan Cohen" <dotancohen gmail com>]

I have a tag LastImport that I add to photos when I import them, and
remove as I tag them or make other adjustments (time). During a recent
import of ~600 photos the importer hang. It filled up 1-600 nicely,
and then hang for 10 minutes. So I killed it with CTRL-ALT-ESC. When
I reopened F-spot I saw that the pictures were in fact imported, but
only the first 400 or so pictures were tagged. So I selected the
remaining photos and clicked Add Tag -> LastImport. I was certain that
it was hung again, but after about 2 minutes it finished. During that
time F-spot was unresponsive, and the window stayed with the Add Tags
menu open.

If it's not hanging, then it certainly is taking a long time to tag
hundreds of photos, so long that it appears to be hanging. A progress
bar would be nice. Should I file a wish bug for the progress bar, or
is this delay uncommon? How long should F-spot take to tag 200 photos?
600? I'm on a 1.4 gHz AMD Duron, with 1024MB RAM. Other than F-spot,
only Firefox was running. I'm on Kubuntu (Ubuntu with KDE desktop).

Thanks.
