Description Daniel Duris 2014-08-19 20:36:55 UTC
Digikam does not translate GPSAreaInformation metadata character codes to string, although it is easy to do so - this is just an array of ASCII character codes (with first character being encoding, if I am not mistaken).

Could this be implemented?
Comment 1 caulier.gilles 2014-08-19 20:43:47 UTC
It could be by 2 way :

- by digiKam into libkexiv2 interface.
- by Exiv2 shared lib directly.

What's this kind of tags must store exactly as information ?

Note : I CC Exiv2 Coordinator to see which is the best way to use...

Sorry, if I wasn't clear - this stores GPS location info in human readable format and differs from camera manufacturer, but usually:
area, district, county, region, country

where some of these could be blank if not known, e.g. if area is known then:
National Gallery, Kensignton, London, London, United Kingdom
(I just made that up)
but it could be also just:
Lome, Togo
for places, where it doesn't have more info.

I think Didikam should translate this rather than the lib... But as a user I don't care either way :-)

Can you share some image with GPSAreaInformation tag filled ?
