Package: gimp
Version: 2.2.6-1
Severity: normal

Hi!

This could be a bug in the EXIF library, but I don't know how to check
that... Anyway, gimp messes up the EXIF headers for images taken with
Nikon D70.

Before doing anything for the (JPEG) image, the metacam program shows
all the EXIF fields nicely. After doing some adjustments with gimp
(shouldn't matter what kind of adjustments) and saving the file with
the EXIF information, metacam says n times things like this to stderr:

WARNING: Unknown field type 8519
WARNING: Unknown field type 16932

(The n is probably a four digit number...) Between and after those
warnings metacam outputs part of the EXIF headers to stdout. Everything
below the "Manufacturer Fields" is missing, which of course contains
many important fields.

This seems to be a problem with only this model (Nikon D70). I've tested
the same things with Canon DIGITAL IXUS 430, and that's working fine.
Could also be a problem with all Nikon DSLR's, but I only have D70 to
test this with.

I'll be happy to provide a test image if needed, just tell me where
to send it.
