Description Gerhard Kulzer 2009-04-23 08:37:13 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.3 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I have a strange problem with metadata on images whichs only common denominator seem to be that they are >3 years old:
If I add captions and/or GPS data to them, the data is written to the images but does not show up in the thumbnails nor in the popup info. 
I know that the data is correctly written because when I open the metadata editor all is there in EXIF, IPTC and XMP. 
I checked with exiv2 and exiftool commandline tools: data is there. 
I re-read metadata back from image to database: no change
Bug exists across 3 different camera types.
I have not found a problem with png, just with jpeg.

I don't think this is exiv2 related since writing and reading metadata works well.

I cannot reproduce your problem there :

Metadata are there before to touch image.

I edit GPS info. geolocation is fine. Caption & Tag too...

Maybe the same problem as 189080? But that does not explain the GPS problem. Can you see what is stored in the ImageComments and ImagePosition table about an affected image?

Comment 6 Gerhard Kulzer 2009-04-23 23:07:16 UTC

Yes Marcel, you are right, it is the same problem than 189080. 
I'll try your SQL statement.
