Created attachment 130718 [details] screenshot showing "Binary Comment" SUMMARY After importing RAW files (here: Nikon D7500 NEF files) the caption shows "binary comment" instead of the content of the UserComment. When reading the EXIF data with exiftool, the user comment shows the expected string and not "binary comment". STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. import a RAW file via Import / Add Folders... 2. Select the files to import and import them to a new album 3. after import finished, view the caption or Metadata / EXIF / Photograph Information / User Comment and see that there is just "binary comment" instead of the expected string. OBSERVED RESULT wrong string for user comment EXPECTED RESULT use the provided string of this property ;-) SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 10 x64 professional (1909) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Worked fine with last digikam version before 7.0.0
