Thanks for your input. I have done as you suggested, but no change I'm afraid.
on your linux box install gdb if you have not already, then type
gdb qgis
run
Do that you normally do and close. When it crashes type
bt
at the gdb prompt, see if it really is EasyGT causing the crash. Feel
free to send me the back trace off list if you want.
Let me know if that also possibly fixes the problem with the EasyGT plugins
not being found. Are you installing a special place or using the defaults?
My paths are as follows (and are correctly configured in cmake):
qgis: /usr/local/src/qgis/run
qgis plugins: /usr/local/src/qgis/run/lib/qgis
easygt: /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/lib/easygt
Ah, that is why the plugins are not found. You have QGIS is a custom
location. Right now EasyGT makes the assumption that the plugins can be
reach by a path relative to the executable, which when launched as a
plugin to QGIS is the QGIS executable. I have been thinking about how to
deal with this for a while, and I am thinking of adding a configuration
option which would allow you to set several directories that will be
searched for plugins whenever EasyGT starts. That way users could always
have a local directory of plugins loaded if they did not have admin
privileges to write them to system directories.
Further to my comment on easygt's mangling of the coordinates I can
add that Irfanview on Windows provides the (nonsense) output I posted,
but exiftool on Ubuntu reads the coordinates correctly. I don't know
what's going on here because Irfanview correctly reads other photos
which were geocoded with exiftool and only baulks on the photo
geocoded by easygt.
That is a good nugget of info. If you would please added that to the
ticket for us.
I just installed irfranview and I can reproduce it. EasyGT uses EXIV2 to
do all of the reading and writing of the tag data. It obviously has to
do with the format those data are being written in, but it is not clear
right away who is doing what wrong, EXIV2 or the EXIF plugin for irfranview.
Given the problems I'm having with easygt I've
only tested with one photo.
It is still an early early beta! Having these problems are very valuable
at this stage :) Thanks for taking the time to play with EasyGT!
