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?
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... gilles Caulier
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 ? Gilles Caulier
