Created attachment 100266 [details] Image that leads to the crash Select a jpg made by a Casio Exilim Z500 camera (see the attached image as an example) and try to edit metadata (Menu Item->Edit Metadata...). digikam shows a runtime error popup and exits. Similar behavior in version 4.12.0. Reason for the crash is an memory access violation according to v4.12.0 error popup. One example is attached but the crash happens with all images that were made with this camera.
It's probably due to crash inside Exiv2 shared library. Metadata Editor read information in image trough this shared library. Please report this problem to Exiv2 team with your suspected image for investigations. http://dev.exiv2.org/projects/exiv2/issues Gilles Caulier
No problems with manipulating these files using exiv2.exe (v0.25) though.

This problem seems to be known at exiv2 and a fix is going to be released with version 0.26 which is due end of July 2016 (in a week from now).
Not reproducible with digiKam 7.3.0 and Exiv2 0.27.4
