Bug ID: 446403
Summary: Metadata not read correctly (XMP instead of EXIF)
Product: digikam
Version: 7.4.0
Platform: Flatpak
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Metadata-Exif
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: iwannaber...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I noticed that in some random pictures I took last week, digikam was not able
to read the metadata. Information such as the date and the picture orientation
was not read from the picture metadata. When looking at the metadata panels, I
see that all the metadata is seen in the XMP section instead of the EXIF (which
appears as blank), but when inspecting the metadata using another tool (e.g.
Jeffrey's Image metadata viewer http://exif.regex.info/) I can see that there
is indeed EXIF info in the picture. Strangely enough, other pictures from the
same batch had their metadata read correctly.
I have attached one of the affected pictures as a reference. It has not been
edited in any way, just straight out of the camera. Also a capture of the EXIF
data in the mentioned website, and a couple captures of the metadata section in
Digikam.
However, I tried with Digikam 7.3 (stable, appimage) and all the metadata was
read correctly, so this problem seems to be specific to v7.4
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Transfer pictures from camera to folder in PC.
2. Start digikam and wait until finishes exploring new elements.
OBSERVED RESULT
Notice how some elements do not include the date or the picture orientation.
EXPECTED RESULT
Exif metadata should be read correctly.
