Or is exiv2 too particular about its input file? jbrout use a python lib to put "iptc keywords" in a jpeg (iptcinfo) (it's a port of the famous iptc perl lib) i've contacted the author of the python lib about this problem ... and he thinks it's a bug from exiv2 ... i trust him, because it seems he know very well the problem A lot of programs (in win32/nux) understand the iptc tags of jbrout, without any trouble .. so i consider it's an exiv2 trouble too.
