Public bug reported:
To reproduce:
1. Open a geotagged JPEG/EXIF image in Eye of MATE Image Viewer. (Sample file
attached.)
2. Click Image > Properties, and examine the information displayed on the tabs.
Expected results:
* On the Metadata tab, the Location field has the coordinates. (I suppose
that’s what it’s meant to do.)
* On the Details tab, under Other, I can see the the correct latitude and
longitude from the EXIF data in a legible format.
Actual results:
* On the Metadata tab, the Location field is empty.
* On the Details tab, under Other, latitude (and latitude reference) is not
displayed at all.
* In the same place there is a field named GPSLongitudeRef and another named
GPSLongitude. They have the correct data, but longitude is in a non-obvious
format. It took me a while to figure out that 6, 31. 44.023 is meant to be 6°
31′ 44.023″.
* Altitude (and reference), speed (and reference) and date/time are displayed
correctly.
Software versions:
Ubuntu MATE 18.04, all updates/patches applied as of 2020-03-15.
Further information;
An image for testing is attached. When opened in JOSM, its GPS data is
parsed correctly, which rules out corrupt EXIF data. I have also
observed this behavior with other images from other sources.
Opinions on the “correct” coordinate format vary. Some prefer decimal
degrees, others prefer degrees/minutes/seconds. It would be nice if I
could choose between these two.
The display of the speed reference could be improved. That K stands for
km/h, not knots, is not immediately apparent, given that many GPS
applications (notably the NMEA standard) use knots internally.
