Please take a screenshot of the error message. I don't fully understand the bug report either. The message " [minor] Unrecognized MakerNotes" cannot appear in the Metadata Viewer in digiKam in the Exif tab, because it is a message from ExifTool. Problems under macOS are usually rights problems, i.e. digiKam does not have the necessary access rights to the directory in which the images are located. Give digiKam all appropriate rights in the macOS security settings. Maik If the issue only occurs in exported photos, which camera brand and model is it affecting? Which image format is used (JPG/RAW). As a test, activate the writing of metadata with ExifTool in the digiKam settings under Metadata. Maik Please try the upcoming digiKam-8.1.0 if the problem can be reproduced. digiKam-8.1.0 download (also macOS): https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Maik (In reply to Maik Qualmann from comment #1) > Please take a screenshot of the error message.

Digikam does not generate this message. Within Digikam tags are functioning normally, but the information is not being exported.

To be clear, the photos all export and contain all their metadata except for the Tag info. I am trying to figure out how to salvage the issue by identifying under what metadata field DigiKam is storing Tag data and figuring out how to copy that information to a new metadata field.

Installer is available at usual place : https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Can reproduce the problem with this version? Thanks in advance Gilles Caulier @Trevor, digiKam 8.3.0 stable version is released and available at usual place : https://www.digikam.org/download/ Can you reproduce the dysfunction on your computer ? Thanks in advance Gilles Caulier I'm not able to understand this report exactly. Please provide more details and screenshots of operations done with the application ? Hi all, Any feedback here using last 8.5.0 released recently with a native MacOS Silicon port? https://www.digikam.org/news/2024-11-16-8.5.0_release_announcement/ Thanks in advance Gilles Caulier |
