error displaying value of XMP-dc:rights tag

[herb]

Hello,

To some of my images I have added language depending values of e.g. the tag -xmp-dc:rights.
The XMP looks like

Code: Select all

<dc:rights>
  <rdf:Alt>
    <rdf:li>copyright</rdf:li>
    <rdf:li xml:lang='de'>copyright-de</rdf:li>
  </rdf:Alt>
</dc:rights>

Opening the XMP tab of this image with XnViewMP the values of xmp-dc:rights are displayed as follows:
But this is not correct for me, because there is
- no language x-repair
- no XMP subgroup xmp:rights[1] and xmp:rights[2]

The language information should be a sub-value of the corresponding rights[x] only.

Best regards
Herb

Hello Pierre,

I have seen that you did some corrections to issue 353 (http://newsgroup.xnview.com/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=29776).

Please have also a look to this topic:
In case of an image has the following values for xmp-dc:rights tag:
- language independent value: rights
- value for german language: Rechte
- value for english language: rights-en.

XnViewMP 0.68 displays these values as follows (please see screenshot above):

Code: Select all

dc
  -rights[1] rights
  -rights[2] Rechte
rights[2]
  -lang      de
de
  -rights[3] rights-en
rights[3]
  -lang      en

For me the display is wrong. A correct display would be

Code: Select all

dc
  -rights      rights
  -rights-de   Rechte
  -rights-en   rights-en

Best regards
Herb

could you send me a picture file with such XMP?

[herb]

Hello Pierre,

I sent such a file via mail.

In addition to my proposal above the tags maybe can also be displayed as:

Code: Select all

dc
  -rights       rights
  -rights[de]   Rechte
  -rights[en]   rights-en

So it looks like an arry with index.

Thanks and best regards

See Issue 403 for current status and details.

Hello Pierre,

thanks for the correction in version 0.69 of XnViewMP.
But I regret the correction has been done only partly.

In case of the file contains the tags: "-xmp:rights, -xmp:rigths-en and -xmp:rights-de" everything is displayed correct. The now choosen format is wonderful.
But in case of the file contains only 2 rights-tags: "-xmp:rights and -xmp:rigths-en" for both an identical value is displayed although their values are different.

Sorry and best regards
Herb

Please send me a sample file?

[herb]

Hello Pierre,

thanks for investigating in this problem.
I prepared a file (with Exiftool) that contains various combinations of tags with a behaviour like -xmp:rights:
-xmp:title has 3 values (base-value, en and fr)
-xmp:description has only 1 value (en, but no base-value)
-xmp:rights has 2 values (base-value and de)
-xmp:usercomment has also 3 values (base-value, en and fr)

XnViewMP 0.69 displays for tag -xmp:rights and -xmp:rights-de always the identical base-value.

Best regards
Herb

If i check XMP, i see

Code: Select all

.....X.XXX. dc:rights =
..X...X...X dc:rights[1] = rights
...X..X...X dc:rights[1]/?xml:lang = x-default
..X...X...X dc:rights[2] = rights
...X..X...X dc:rights[2]/?xml:lang = de

so same value...

Hello Pierre,

attached please find the xmp-data which are stored inside the example file of my previous post and attached please also find 2 screenshots:
xmp-data displayed by XnViewMP 0.69 and xmp-data displayed by Exiftool.

Exiftool displays
-xmp:Rights=rights
-xmp:Rights(de)=Rechte

XnViewMP displays
-xmp:rights=rights
-xmp:rights[de]=rights

I am sorry, but the output of Exiftool is the correct one.
Best regards

Hello Pierre,

is there any hope that the problem will be fixed by Adobe?
Currently I use version 0.93 on Win 7.
