Bug ID: 370443 Summary: jp2 metadata: Unrecognized UUID EXIF box Product: digikam Version: 5.2.0 Platform: MS Windows OS: MS Windows Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: NOR Component: Metadata Assignee: digikam-de...@kde.org Reporter: her...@web.de Hello, I work with digiKam and ShowFoto 5.2.0 on a Win 7 system. In order to come to know ShowFoto I played with it. So I also opened a *.jpg (with Exif metadata) image and stored it as *.jp2. Now Exiftool cannot read the Exif metadata written by ShowFoto. It reports : Unrecognized UUID EXIF box. Also XnViewMP - which uses an Adobe toolkit for metadata - does not read the metadata of *.jp2 file. I asked Phil Harvey, the developer of Exifttol, and he stated: "Digikam has apparently written a JPEG EXIF header in front of the TIFF header (six extra bytes: "Exif\0\0"), so ExifTool gives the warning and can't process the EXIF. >From interoperability point of view this is a very bad situation. Because Exiftool and XnViewXP write a "common format" of the uuid tag, I guess the problem could be on digiKam side. Please help to solve the major interoperability problem.
