Description Leon Loberman 2020-11-14 23:11:36 UTC 
SUMMARY
Whenever I use the BQM tool to convert RAW to DNG, it puts 'charset=Ascii' or 'charset=unicode' into the caption field if the RAW caption field is empty

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add a RAW (NEF) file with no caption to the BQM queue
2. Select Convert RAW to DNG tool
3. Run the queue
4. View the DNG file caption data

OBSERVED RESULT
'charset=Ascii' or 'charset=unicode' in the caption field

EXPECTED RESULT
blank caption field
