Good Morning, all! I am a newbie to this list, so please forgive me if this question has been asked before.
I use GIMP exclusively for the "tweaking" of digital photographs. For several years, I have been more than happy with it's performance. However, over the last year or more, I've discovered a problem. If I open my jpg images (made using Silkypix, from .dng (raw) camera files) using, say, Faststone Image Viewer (or any other program) everything is fine. But when I open a .jpg file with GIMP, it now takes about 12 to 14 seconds to do so, and every time I get the following error messages. > Plug-in crashed: "metadata.exe" > (C:\Program Files (x86)\GIMP-2.0\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\metadata.exe) > > The dying plug-in may have messed up GIMP's internal state. You may > want to save your images and restart GIMP to be on the safe side. > > Execution error for procedure 'plug-in-metadata-decode-xmp': > Procedure 'plug-in-metadata-decode-xmp' returned no return values I then save the file and restart GIMP as suggested. After saving, the file will open promptly,without any error messages. I have used both Silkypix and GIMP for my images for over 5 years ... so nothing has changed, there... and I have had had this problem under Win-XP and now Win-7. Has anybody else experienced this problem with Metadata.exe? Is there a solution to this most annoying problem? Many thanks for any and all help.
