Re: LC9.6 Android EXIF image data issue
Thanks Mark and Monte for the info. Had already stopped using the width/height specs and for photos from the library we had been getting EXIF info and still do in many cases (I think - more testing needed!), but as we can't do anything about what the OS gives us, I'll just slightly change the message for the user to inform them.

Thanks again for the info! iOS definitely strips EXIF data in some cases - perhaps it is just from photos taken with the camera or maybe it varies slightly with OS version. The Android case you are observing is probably because the EXIF data is being stripped also. Assuming you don't use a width/height argument on mobilePickPhoto then we just return the data which we are given with no processing at all - so you are getting what the OS wants you to get. It might be that Samsung's camera app is a little more security conscious than other Android variants :( Warmest Regards, Mark. -- Mark Waddingham ~ m...@livecode.com ~ http://www.livecode.com/ LiveCode: Everyone can create apps ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: LC9.6 Android EXIF image data issue
Hi Alan EXIF data from the returned photo in mobilePickPhoto probably shouldn’t be relied upon. On iOS it definitely won’t be there. On Android it definitely won’t be there if calling mobilePickPhoto with width and height parameters but if those parameters aren’t used it might be there (depending on what the camera app does).

LC9.6 Android EXIF image data issue
There seems to be an issue with getting EXIF data from images using mobilePickPhoto on Android (well, at least new Samsung mobile phones). I *think* this is a new bug with LC 9.6, but as I don't have a relevant phone to test with, it's sorta difficult to check further. Particularly as we couldn't even use mobilePickPhoto on these phones prior to 9.6! Has anyone else seen this at all? If it's a new issue then it'd be great to get it resolved in the 9.6 cycle. cheers Alan ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
