Resize Me! remove GPS data

[B.Douille]

Hello,

Using this tool on Android all the pictures loose their GPS metadata. Can you please fix this in a future version?

Resize Me! Pro ver 2.2.13 on Sony XZ2/Android 10

could you send me a sample file used?

[B.Douille]

Hello Pierre, here attached a sample picture original taken in Talmont St Hilaire (GPS location visible in the album, and in XnView).
The second file is the same, cropped to show only the harbour only. The album doesn't show the location anymore because the values are null.
The map in XnView shows the exact position 00° N, 00°E, in the Atlantic, in front of Africa costs (screenshot 3rd file).

i've tried and no problem here. you use the 'Crop & resize' button, right? what do you have in settings? Which android version? Is it 'ResizeMe Pro'?

[B.Douille]

Yes, it's ResizeMe Pro!
Crop & Resize
my Sony XZ2 runs Android 10
Screenshots of the settings attached. GPS data should be OK.

It worked in the past. I can't tell you when this failed but it's months ago for sure.

i've tried on simulator, and no problem. Do you have tried to uninstall/install?

[B.Douille]

I think I did it already in the past but anyway. I cleared all the data before de-installing. I reinstalled and tested.
Same problem.
just to ensure : the container for GPS data is three but it's all blank, null (see screenshot from EXIF Pro)

[B.Douille]

Additional test, using one's Google Pixel 5 / Android 14
I installed ResizeMe (the free version) but then not only the GPS but ALL the EXIF metadata was whipped

I checked the Play Store and it's said "* Keep EXIF tags
* Keep GPS data" so definitely something wrong.

if you use 'batch convert', do you have GPS/EXIF? And with XnConvert?

[B.Douille]

Interesting.
The batch mode of ResizeMe keeps the EXIF data unchanged. So only the single mode is bugy.
Using XnConvert works fine as well

Hello Pierre,

Last version is 2.2.15 and the problem still. Did you find the root-cause of this issue ?
Crop, rotate, invert up/down or left/right have the same consequence: All the GPS data in EXIF database are set to 0 or null (confirmed by EXIFTOOL).

I found a track of a mail I sent in may 2022 but I'm sure it worked on earlier versions.

So, in batch mode EXIF datas are kept, and not in one image view?
Why you don't use XnConvert?

[B.Douille]

So, in batch mode EXIF datas are kept, and not in one image view?

Exact. In batch resize the GPS data are kept. If resized or cropped individually, the GPS data whipped (all set to zeros actually)

Why you don't use XnConvert?

I mainly use Resize Me to crop images so it's always one by one.
All other edits I do with XnConvert as in most cases there are many to process identically.

Hello Pierre,

Have you been able to reproduce?
