--- Comment #2 from Bawolff <bawolff...@gmail.com> 2012-10-14 17:23:05 UTC --- Note: The exif standard specifically states that most fields should be in ASCII (although some standards recommend assuming utf-8 instead), with exception of some fields which do specify their encoding. However, the photo in question's metadata is not exif formatted, but uses iptc-iim metadata. That format for metadata has a specific mechanism for denoting what encoding the image data is in (which we have support for). [See page 20 of http://www.iptc.org/std/IIM/4.1/specification/IIMV4.1.pdf ] (Of course, that mechanism is somewhat newish and possibly comes after the image was created. Additionally lots of such images don't have the encoding data specified). I don't feel we should put something in the mediawiki layer if the file format itself supports the feature. Hence I suggest wontfix. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
