Refer to the 2 screenshots I have added to the filebin link. I went to Settings->Configure digikam->Metadata, and unchecked "Use `exiftool` backend to read metadata from files". After that, I selected all the files in the folder, and selected Item->Reread metadata from file. The 35mm eqv focal length is missing, despite it being shown correctly in the right. Then, I re-enabled the `exiftool` backend and reread the metadata again (which makes the lens name disappear at random). Regarding the commit, as I have mentioned before, the behavior (read from XMP `Lens` and EXIF `LensModel`) should be the default and not limited to certain brands of cameras; the data from makernotes should be considered last (instead of first) and should only be used if not found anywhere else, as it is not uncommon to take photos using an adapted/"dumb" lens and fill in the missing metadata afterwards. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
