Can you reproduce this dysfunction with a more recent digiKam release. Currently we are in 7.0.0-beta3 that you can test using last AppImage Linux Bundle : https://files.kde.org/digikam/ Gilles Caulier
I can confirm it here for digiKam-7.0.0-Beta3, depending on the image some hexadecimal metadata are also displayed. I think Exiv2 also maps this metadata, I haven't looked at the code yet. Maik

Created attachment 130854 [details] IPTC Viewer I'd like to come back on this issue. EXIF and XMP seem to work fine now. IPTC, however, displays fields that I have not selected (Digitization Date, Digitization Time, Record Version, and Model Version). Please see attached. I can add additional fields to this, but those 4 won't go away. Also, unlike in EXIF, Makernotes, and XMP, if a field does not have a value, it is not displayed as "unavailable" but is left out. Don't know if this is a bug or a feature. Kind regards, Harald
Created attachment 130855 [details] Makernotes Viewer An additional (minor) issue in the Makernotes viewer: If I don't select any field at all, many fields are displayed. As soon as I select at least one field, it works as expected. Kind regards, Harald
I cannot reproduce a problem here with IPTC. Sure you chose Custom? You have selected "Caption", but it is not in the metadata view, it should be deactivated and displayed with the text "not available". Yes, it is intended that if no selection is made, all available options will be displayed. You activate the filter by selecting an item. Maik

The "Makernotes" issue, then, is not a bug but works as intended. Not sure what happens with IPTC, though. In Configure digiKam/Metadata/Views/IPTC, I have selected 5 fields: Caption, Date Created, Keywords, Time Created, Character Set. Then why are Digitization Date, Digitization Time,Record Version, and Model Version displayed as well? What do you mean by "chosing Custom?" What I just discovered, is the following: For different pictures from the same album (taken a couple of minutes apart from each other, and all processed at the same time with the same software), with the same "View" configuration, I get three different IPTC displays (screenshots attached). Please not the for those pictures where "Time Created" does not show up or is 0, the "Created" item in the "Properties" tab is displayed correctly. Why is this? Either I am doing something wrong (what?), or digiKam is doing something wrong... Kind regards, Harald
Did you also select "Custom" under the filter button next to the search line? It doesn't look like it. This is individual for each tab (EXIF, IPTC, XMP). Maik
Created attachment 130915 [details] Creation Date Maik, Indeed I did not -- I was not aware of this option. Thanks! Observation: For EXIF, Makernote, and XMP, none of the three options was checked initially, which apparently defaulted to "Custom", so it worked there. Additional observation: While it seems to be the case that some of my pictures don't have a "Time Created" tag (no idea how this could happen), I also have the situation where the picture *does* have this tag but it is "unavailable" in the Metadata tab (see attached). Any idea on this one -- maybe another option I have not yet discovered ;-) Kind regards, Harald
In the "Custom" mode, all selected metadata are always displayed, if not available in the image, "unavailable" is displayed. Maik
Maik, Please don't spend any time on my last remark -- the problem seems to lie entirely with my pictures, even though I have no idea what could have caused it (same camera, same way of processing, exported from lightroom in the same batch). Kind regards, Harald
