--- Comment #29 from Lupo <lupo.bugzi...@gmail.com> 2010-03-16 07:07:20 UTC --- Of course it's a hacky work-around that tries to shoehorn array-valued GPS data into the broken current stored metadata format, which doesn't have array-valued fields. Maybe I'm missing something, but I think we cannot change the stored metadata format. (And that's independent of Tim's worry about metadata being recomputed from the file if Exif::version changes.) If we change the format of the stored metadata, we'll break Exif display all older MW installations that get served the new format (e.g. through InstantCommons), but that don't know that new format yet. Even if we changed BitmapHandler and Exif::formatData to understand both the old and the new format, there would still be old installations out there not having that change. See http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/49677#c2475 With the current format, I don't see a way to correctly handle the more esoteric array-valued Exif fields such as the white point or YCbCrSubSampling. But at least we could fix it for the most visible cases: the GPS attributes. Incidentally, I've only seen complaints about GPS data not being handled correctly, but so far I've not seen a single complaint about missing white point data. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
