--- Comment #6 from Maik Qualmann <[email protected]> --- When writing or adding metadata, the maximum allowable Exif size of 65,535 bytes is exceeded. This issue arises because we still use Exiv2 to create the metadata container, which is subsequently written by ExifTool. Note that even ExifTool itself can only employ a workaround to bypass this problem: it simply creates two separate Exif segments. The difficulty with this approach is that only ExifTool can properly handle these dual Exif segments; no other tool can. The proper solution would be to purge the Exif metadata of any large, unnecessary binary blobs. Unfortunately, many camera manufacturers already utilize nearly the entire 65,535-byte limit.
