Hi, I have had a hard time yesterday to find out why it is that slow, but I found the problem. Now, I can scan my problematic disc with 720 jpegs... (Not really 1000, but a lot...) The scanning now needs less than one minute for the whole disc, so I can live with it. The problem with my jpegs is that the MakerNote in the EXIF part is about 56k (!) each picture. (They come from a KYOCERA digicam.) The MakerNote has an undefined field type. In mmpython/image/EXIF.py, EXIF tags with undefined field type are scanned byte by byte, which is very slow. I have changed the method which does this, so that EXIF tags with undefined field types and more than 1000 bytes are omitted. After that change, I could scan my disc in less than one minute...
