Some EXIF tags (including concerning geolocation information (country name, city, landmark, etc...)) are not read by digikam (nor showphoto), while they are read by other software. These tags are Panasonic Makernote tags. Example of such picture: see http://nicofo.tuxfamily.org/tmp/panasonic-tz40-GPSinfo.JPG Example of software that can read these tags: "ExifView" (available on android). A screenshot of ExifView, with the missing information in digikam (Panasonic Makernote - City ; Country ; Landmark ; Location ; State) is given below: http://nicofo.tuxfamily.org/tmp/Screenshot_ExifViewer(Android).jpg In comparison, the Panasonic Makernote Exif tags are very poor in digikam: http://nicofo.tuxfamily.org/tmp/Screenshot_Digikam.jpg Remark also that some tags are not correctly displayed in digikam, like: - 'Baby Age' ("9999 .." instead of nothing) - 'Time since power on' ("14987" instead of "149,87 sec" in ExifView, under 'Camera Uptime') - ... Reproducible: Always
digiKam do not have any metadata parser code. All is delegate to Exiv2 library, including Markernote. http://www.exiv2.org/tags-panasonic.html Please report this problem to Exiv2 bugzilla. thanks in advance. http://dev.exiv2.org/ Gilles Caulier
Not reproducible using digiKam 7.3.0 + Exiv2 0.27.3
