Jim, No. If JFIF comments is empty, digiKam will parse Exif Comments instead, and if Exif Comments is empty, it will parse IPTC caption. I suspect than your picture have something in JFIF section but an un-decodable content. It's an another problem. JFIF content to decode is not a simple formated text... Can you post a picture sample to test on my computer. Thanks in advance Gilles Caulier Hmmm. Something else is going on here. I now think this is actually a bug somewhere in digikam. Within an existing album I made a copy of the image (with a simple command line cp) and refreshed the album in digikam. The original image still did not display the comment but the copy displayed it correctly! This album may have been originally created with the previous release of digikam, if that makes any difference. Jim, Yes. If pictures have already recorded in digiKam database, it will not re-parse this one, only the new files will be parsed. I have planed to do a batch tool to updated database in background with pictures metadata contents. This is mandatory since 0.9.0 have been very improved against 0.8.x about metadata management. If i remember, there is alaready a file in B.K.O about this subject. Gilles Gilles, You're correct. I deleted and recreated the database and everything is OK. So your background db update sounds like it will eliminate the problem. Nice app. Keep up the good work. -jim Ok. I close the file now. Gilles Problem is no longer reproducible with digiKam 7.3.0 and Exiv2 0.27.4 |
