The sample image was too large to upload to the bug tracker, so I have uploaded it to a file share: https://www.transfernow.net/sKPcTH082020 Problem cannot be reproduced here. Which digiKam version (build) are you using exactly? With a current version of Exiv2 built in, the user comment is decoded as "binary comment". This is filtered in digiKam-7.1.0. Maik As Maik, I cannot reproduce the problem here, with digiKam 7.1.0 and Exiv2 0.27.3. Please test with current Windows installer available here : https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Gilles Caulier Note: If you test the new version, you have to temporarily activate the "cleanup database" option in the metadata settings. So that the incorrect comment is deleted from the database when you re-read the metadata of the problematic images.

Under Configure digiKam => Metadata => Reading and Writing Metadata, I checked Clean up the metadata from the database when rescan files. This is the setting you were talking about, right? I then clicked on the folder containing the file and hit Refresh, but after the scan completed, the bad captions remained. I then went to Tools => Maintenance. I unselected Whole albums collections and selected my folder. I then checked Perform database cleaning. Once the operation completed, the bad captions remained. Are these the operations that were expected to clear up the bad captions or did I misinterpret anything? You have to reread the metadata of the images. Either menu-> album-> reread metadata from the images. Or the selected images via Menu-> Items-> reread metadata from file. Or the corresponding module in the maintenance tool.

I could not find the corresponding module in the maintenance tool, but I can confirm that on 7.1 after rereading the metadata from files that the garbage data has been removed. Thanks for the feedback. I close this file now. Gilles Caulier |
