Description Sekerama 2010-01-30 21:43:32 UTC 
Version:           1.0.0_beta6 (using KDE 4.3.4)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.4 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

showFoto fails to read EXIF data from a remote image. Local images work fine.

Example:
showfoto http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/1659/dsc7210web.jpg

loads a photo without any EXIF metadata, while

wget http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/1659/dsc7210web.jpg && showfoto dsc7210web.jpg

loads the same file with all the metadata in it.

Present on (at least) showfoto-0.10.0 and showfoto-1.0.0_beta6 on KDE 4.3.5.

Confirmed. Thumbnail doesn't work as well. Seems that an empty filename is assumed for remote files, perhaps using toLocalFile() on the remote Url.

QFSFileEngine::open: No file name specified
showfoto(28647)/KEXIV2 KExiv2Iface::KExiv2::load: File '  ' is not readable.

Showfoto do not support remote files at all, only local files... It's not planed to change this behavior.
