--- Comment #6 from Bawolff <[email protected]> 2012-08-17 12:04:35 UTC --- I submitted gerrit change 20288 which changes the behaviour just for GPSAltitude, since some of my other code was assuming it was a normal floating point number, which caused totally wrong displays when the altitude was below sea level. I still feel that things which use the image metadata from MediaWiki should not make assumptions as to if the data is a rational number or a normal real number. In the future I do think it should probably be changed to convert all those fields (except maybe shutter speed) [converting them would be a mild breaking change in the api, but i doubt anyone would care]. However, even if that is done, anything using the image metadata from mediawiki would still have to support both rational numbers and normal decimal numbers, since the metadata from files stays cached for a long time (years). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
