video file with exif data
SUMMARY
When importing video files, exif data are ignored, even if they are present.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. use attached video file as example
2. create a new folder and copy the video into this folder
3. start kphotoalbum from the command line inside this folder with "kphotoalbum
-c index.xml"
4. create a new index file
5. if necessary, use "Maintenance -> search for new images" to add this video
to the database.
OBSERVED RESULT
* KPA will display the date of the file as shown with "ls -l"
* KPA will show no exif data for this file
* using "exiftool VID_20250824_110625837.mp4" shows the complete list of exif
data.
* "exiftool -createdate VID_20250824_110625837.mp4" displays the correct date:
"Create Date : 2025:08:24 ..."
* "Maintenance -> Read EXIF info from files ..." does not read anything from
this video file.
EXPECTED RESULT
* KPA should at least try to read the exif info if present and issue a warning
if it fails to do so.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KPhotoAlbum: v6.1.0-14-g3705a5703 (not the very latest - but fairly recent)
KDE Frameworks: 6.17.0
Qt: Using 6.8.2 and built against 6.8.2
TUXEDO OS (Xcb)
Build ABI: x86_64-little_endian-lp64
Kernel: linux 6.14.0-114034-tuxedo
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The same applies for files imported via a *kim file
My current workaround is to touch the files with the correct date ... very
cumbersome!
