[digikam] [Bug 372650] On OS X, when tagging multiple images metadata is not correctly written to some image files or sidecars.
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=372650 --- Comment #19 from Philip Tuckey --- Dear Gilles, Maik and other maintainers I'm very very very pleased to report that digiKam-6.0.0-beta3-20181208T124813-MacOS-x86-64.pkg does not display this Mac-specific metadata-writing bug. It was present in all previous versions I tested up to 6.0.0-beta2 of 15th October. (I did not test any build of beta3 before 8th Dec.) Could you please comment on whether this is due to a fix or to chance? Are you aware of a change in code or in the MacOS build process between beta2 15 Oct and beta3 8 Dec which may have affected this behaviour? Thanks very much Philip -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=372650 --- Comment #18 from Philip Tuckey <philip.tuc...@free.fr> --- I just did a test by starting up digikam without a digikamrc file and accepting the default setup options. By default metadata writing is deactivated, but all the options on the metadata->Advanced tab are selected (so they become active when metadata writing is turned on). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

I have run a couple of examples using 100 copies of the same jpg image, i.e.
$ for i in {0..99}; do cp image.jpg test/image$i.jpg; done
I will upload relevant files following this message.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=372650 --- Comment #5 from Philip Tuckey <philip.tuc...@free.fr> --- I gave the console error messages in the initial description, but I will upload a full console log asap. It seems to me that those error messages don't tell us whether the problem is a bug in Exiv2, or if digikam is providing bad data to Exiv2 (only occasionally of course). We would need digikam to print out the data each time it calls Exiv2. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=372650 --- Comment #3 from Philip Tuckey <philip.tuc...@free.fr> --- Thank you for doing that Gilles. I have tested the new version and the behaviour is the same: occasional errors in writing metadata to image files or sidecars, when updating many images at once. (I updated the bug title and component to be more precise.) Another way to trigger the problem is "Album->Write Metadata to Images", which is consistent since it rewrites the metadata of all images, and unfortunate as one wants to use this menu item to clean up the metadata. This does not seem to be a "straightforward" bug in Exiv2, as the problem does not occur under linux, it is specific to OS X. The apparently random occurrence may suggest some kind of overflow error. Is the bug necessarily in Exiv2, could it be in digikam? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

[digikam] [Bug 372650] When tagging multiple images a few sidecars get truncated, on OS X.
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=372650 --- Comment #1 from Philip Tuckey <philip.tuc...@free.fr> --- This problem also occurs when writing metadata to the image files. To test this, I changed the digikam preferences to not use sidecars. The test images are jpegs and I am writing just one tag to them, "print". The console shows a few error messages the same as in the initial report, and for a few files the metadata is NOT written. Again, this is running on OS X, updated to Sierra (the initial report was under El Capitan). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
[digikam] [Bug 372650] New: When tagging multiple images a few sidecars get truncated, on OS X.
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=372650 Bug ID: 372650 Summary: When tagging multiple images a few sidecars get truncated, on OS X. Product: digikam Version: 5.3.0 Platform: Mac OS X Disk Images OS: OS X Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Tags Assignee: digikam-de...@kde.org Reporter: philip.tuc...@free.fr Target Milestone: --- Digikam is configured to write to sidecars only. Select multiple images, e.g. about 100. Apply the same tag to all of them, using the Captions pane. For most images the sidecars are updated correctly, but for a few of them the sidecars are truncated to just their first line. This affects a different subset of files each time a tag is applied, apparently at random. The console output shows most sidecars being written without error messages, while for the few files concerned it shows: digikam.metaengine: Exiv2 ( 3 ) : XMP Toolkit error 101: Unregistered schema namespace URI digikam.metaengine: Exiv2 ( 3 ) : Failed to encode XMP metadata. This behaviour happens on OS X. Running under linux (ubuntu) in a virtual machine I do NOT see the same problem. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
