Adding GPS Coordinates does not always "Take" ???

Post by BuckSkin »

First, let me say that I really like the simplicity and quickness of the GPS editor.

However, using the GPS editing dialogue, regardless of whether doing them singly or four or five at a time, about 50% of the time, the information does not "stick". (all jpegs)

For example, if I load three images, all to get the same coordinates, one of the images will not get the coordinates applied.

If I catch this before I load any other images, I can reload the image and the coordinates will still be in the editor; I click Apply, and usually, the information will stick on this second go-around.

This behavior really slows things down; not only the act of having to reload the missed images, but the fact that I have to be on constant alert and investigate every single image to make sure the coordinates were applied.

I am using 64-bit Windows 7 Pro, XnView MP version 0.93.1 06-Mar-2019

Is there a fix for this ?

Is anyone else experiencing this behavior ?

Thanks for reading and all help is appreciated.

I really don't see but one way to do this = I select one or a few jpeg images in the thumbnail browser - click "Edit GPS Data" - type in the coordinates - click "Write" or "Write to All" and the dialogue closes.

I will download and install the most recent version and see if the problem is there as well.

I installed the most recent version and the problem remains.

I do like the new copy/paste feature in the new version; however, it does not copy/paste the altitude.
