Screenshot of corrupt text
Hi - I am suffering from the above issue - see attachment. I’m on Windows 11,
Digikam 9.1.0
I followed the instructions below and used the re-reading of metadata approach
and whilst it removes the corrupt text, it also removes any Ratings assigned to
the images (and maybe some other things I haven’t noticed)
Any suggestions please?

This issue has been resolved in the pre-release digiKam-8.8.0 version. The
string is interpreted from the Exif comment, which is empty. Due to Exiv2 bugs,
we now decode the Exif comment ourselves; this was unfortunately a bug in our
functionality. You can disable reading of the Exif comment in the advanced
metadata or use the pre-release version; in this case, rereading the metadata
will be necessary.
