0.94.2: Metadata transfer fails

Post by cicciobello »

XnView MP 0.94.2 x64
MS Windows 7 SP1 x64 (tested on 2 different PC)

Source: TIFF files with IPTC metadata ONLY, in multiple lines (even blank), like this IPTC Caption:
--------------------------
Line 1
Line 2

Line 4
Line 5
--------------------------

To reproduce:
Select 1+ files
[Tools] -> [Metadata] -> [Transfer...]
XMP:description <- {IPTC:Caption}

Actual behaviour (bug): Only first line was copied in XMP metadata, NOT all lines.

Expected behaviour: All lines was copied in XMP metadata.
