1.94: Exif data bug

[Guest]

Hello,

I updated from 1.93.6 to 1.94 and I found a problem using the tool for converting multiple images (Ctrl+u). I use a script to convert my images and after conversion the exif data of the images is gone. Version 1.93.6 did preserve that data.

I have not this problem do you have enabled option/Write/Jpeg/Keep exif?

Works! Thanks for the support!

The problem seemed to be solved but now the exif data disappeared again, even though I chose "Keep Exif".

With 1.94.1 the problem was solved, and now you have it again?

hello i'm new on this forum.
I also have this problem with my exif datas on 1.94.1 (since 1.94).
Exif datas gone when i use free rotation or image crop.
It seem's randomised.
The option "keep exif data" is ON

Thanks.

Hello ! Welcome aboard !

• That bug has been reported and confirmed also in the FRENCH SECTION since last Monday…
- I can reproduce it here by 100%, while some other users can't, or get a different bug !
- It occurs with any operation on JPEG, even :
- Open the file, do nothing, save only >> No more Exif !

Kind regards,

I can reproduce this bug too, 100%.

Furthermore, I know what's causing it: Weird EXIF makernotes.

Samsung ones, specifically; I see one of the french posters about this bug has a Samsung S850; I have an S1050. It's those photos that get thrashed, the ones from my friend's non-Samsung camera are handled fine.

To support my affirmation:

1) viewing one of my pics with PhotoMe gets me this warning:

"Too many items (12336) in IFD MakerNote (Manufacturer notes)

The number of tags in the Maker Notes IFD is very high. PhotoME has identified this as a problem and has ignored this IFD in the initialization process."

2) If I use ExifToolGui -> Remove Metadata -> EXIF:Makernote and then try to save the image with XnView, the EXIF data gets preserved just fine.

...pleasepleasplease do something about this...

Could you send me a sample, please?

[Max Monroe]

I've sent you a sample image. I hope it helps. By the way, in PhotoME you can only see the maker-note warning if you enable "show meta data problems" in settings.

I can't reproduce this problem, only load + save?

[Max Monroe]

Yes, only by load then save. But as I already mentioned by mail, this seems fixed in the new 1.94.2; It was affecting only the 1.94.1 version, sorry for not realizing it was already fixed when I mentioned it.
