Created attachment 105149 [details] Screenshot showing GPS data in a picture but geolocation indicator missing I have a lot of files with GPS data but DigiKam does not show the geolocation indicator in album view (it's activated in the configaration settings) and those picture are not shown in the map view. Please refer to attached screenshot which appears to indicate that DigiKam did read the GPS data but is not able to "work" with them. This problem appears to be a "binary" one: it happens either with all the pictures in a specific subdirectory or with none. I haven't yet seen it happening only with some files in a subdirectory and not with others in the same subdirectory. Thanks for your support! Ulrich
Can you share some image with GPS data which are not show properly in Geolocation view from digiKam ? Gilles Caulier
Sure, no problem besides the size of the file (6 MB). I had to upload it into my Dropbox. Please download it from https://www.dropbox.com/s/uik5fyf26guwm7f/IMG_1502_3_4.jpg?dl=0 and let me know if that worked. Ulrich
No problem under Linux with digiKam 5.6.0 pre-release : https://www.flickr.com/photos/digikam/33353049124/in/dateposted-public/ Gilles Caulier
Can you test with 5.6.0 pre-release installer for Windows : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BzeiVr-byqt5Y0tIRWVWelRJenM Note : You need to force digiKam to re-scan image metadata. Select your image frim icon view, go to "Captions" tab from right side bar, "More" button, and use right option from menu. Gilles Caulier
Quite interesting ...;-)) This Captions/More/Read metadata... process does also work in v5.5, no need to install v5.6. I now see the geolocation indicator and the map view shows the location of the picture. But if I use the menubar Item/Reread metadata... process (which I used to use when trying to came up with a solution to the problem), nothing happens. I now tried the Captions/More/Read metadata... process for all files in that very subdirectory (no file had had shown the geolocation indicator) and everything looks good now. So obviously the Captions/... and the menubar Item/... processes use two different pieces of program code? Ulrich
This problem still reproducible with current 5.8.0 - pre-release Windows bundle available here : https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Gilles Caulier
I can confirm the behaviour stated both in comment #4 and comment #5 for digikam 5.5.0 under Linux (openSuse Leap 42.3, KDE 5.32.0). The geolocation indicator shows up and the correct location is displayed in the right "map" sidebar after a re-scan of the metadata is forced as described in Gilles' comment #4, but NOT from the menu item "Album / Reread Metadata from Images" as Ulrich describes in comment #5. This was sufficient in previous versions of digikam. Is it meant to be this way?
Please test with last stable digiKam 5.9.0 AppImage universal Linux bundle released few days ago. 5.5.0 is a little bit old, and a lots of bugs have been killed since this release... Best Gilles Caulier
Yes, with the 5.9.0 AppImage version, it works as it used to do, e.g. the "Album / Reread Metadata from Images" menu item updates geolocation and other metadata correctly. If I decide to continue using the 5.5.0 version, as this is the version that my current distribution provides, is the rescan of metadata from the "Captions" sidebar equivalent to the menu item in 5.9.0 or 4.x versions?
The re-read metadata function via album or item was broken in digiKam-5.5.0. I close this bug now. Maik
