Good to hear from you! I'm sending the reply to the PEL devel list as well as to you in the hope that others will join into the discussion (and for archiving purposes). I hope you don't mind. You can subscribe here: https://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/pel-devel You can also read/write to it from Gmane: http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.pel.devel > I try to use your PEL library - but I'm running into problems. > > The first was that > XP_COMMENT > CFA_PATTERN > are defined twice in PelTag. Please use the code from Subversion, it has fixes for that problem and maybe others as well :-) Someone (well, I guess that would be me...) really ought to put out a new version... :-) > I removed the spare copies and it started working.

In the beginning, my image has IFD0 and IFD1 - but not the GPS. > I add the GPS one with the help of > > $gps = new PelIfd(PelIfd::GPS); > > and then set > > $ifd1->setNextIfd($gps); Ahh, I might know what the problem is. At first I thought that it looked good, but then I remembered: the GPS IFD is a sub-IFD and you must add it with the addSubIfd() method: http://pel.sf.net/doc/PEL/PelIfd.html#addSubIfd I'm sorry that this isn't better documented, at the moment PEL unfortunately requires a too big knowledge about the ins and outs of the EXIF format. I would of course love to see people contribute functions to make PEL more high-level. It's a bit like C: it is a lot easier to write stuff in C than assembly. But even then people tend to use libraries (nobody wants to invert their own printf()). Likewise, it's (hopefully!) easier to manipulate the bits and bytes using PEL than doing it directly, but we need some "libraries" to put ontop of it in the form of more high-level convenience functions. > This seems to work nicely.

No, unfortunately not... the GPL stuff is rather new and untested since I haven't found any actual images with GPS info in them, and I have no GPL equiptment myself. So it's written from the specs... I'm normally testing using the 'exif' program from the C libexif. That library was the starting point for PEL.
