Package: libimage-exiftool-perl Version: 12.49+dfsg-1 Severity: important Hi,
since some time I'm tagging my scans from analog images with geoinformation by using scripts calling exiftool. Here is an example line for one of my images: exiftool -overwrite_original -quiet -GPSLatitudeRef='N' -GPSLatitude='64 deg 8'' 51.464"' -GPSLongitudeRef='W' -GPSLongitude='21 deg 55'' 59.700"' 20010712_210000_mediafix_img_0254*.jpg* Since this is in Iceland it has -GPSLongitudeRef='W' set and this worked at least until Date: Sat Jun 13 22:14:57 2020 +0200 according to my GPS log. Since I'm using testing this was probably libimage-exiftool-perl (11.99-1) unstable; urgency=medium * Import upstream version 11.99. -- gregor herrmann <gre...@debian.org> Fri, 15 May 2020 17:50:20 +0200 At that time the result of the line above was: $ exiftool 20010712_210000_mediafix_img_0254o_.jpg | grep GPS GPS Version ID : 2.3.0.0 GPS Latitude Ref : North GPS Longitude Ref : West GPS Latitude : 64 deg 8' 51.46" N GPS Longitude : 21 deg 55' 59.70" W GPS Position : 64 deg 8' 51.46" N, 21 deg 55' 59.70" W If I redo the very same command line above I get: $ exiftool 20010712_210000_mediafix_img_0254o_.jpg | grep GPS GPS Version ID : 2.3.0.0 GPS Latitude Ref : North GPS Longitude Ref : East GPS Latitude : 64 deg 8' 51.46" N GPS Longitude : 21 deg 55' 59.70" E GPS Position : 64 deg 8' 51.46" N, 21 deg 55' 59.70" E So the image is not *West* any more but rather *East* no - so all my images would be moved if I would rerun my scripts (which I'm doing from time to time when I might add new coordinates). I did some web search on that matter and found https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=10163.0 but this is talking about versions 19.4x and I'm very sure I was successfully working with some 11.[89]x version. So this is IMHO a regression. Either there could be some fix for the code to get the old behaviour back or at least the documentation should be fixed about the GPSLongitudeRef option. In the latter case I can search-and-replace my scripts. I'm just reporting the issue in the Debian BTW. I'd volunteer to contact upstream about this if you are busy with other stuff in the Perl team. Just drop me a note if you want me to do so.
