Problems with cyrilic Chars in IPTC-Fields (XnView 1.96)

Post by Pbaumann »

Hi,

XNview 1.96 has problems with cyrillc chars characters in IPTC-fields.
If an IPTC-field contains cyrillc chars (utf encoded) XnView can't display the information correctly. Instead of the correct chars question marks are displayed.

:) Hello !

• XnView doesn't support Unicode (yet).

- You could try the MP VERSION which does, but still in beta-stage…

:mrgreen: Kind regards,

Hi,

I tried, but XnViewMP has also display problems. It seem to be a problem with Unicode Little-Endian. The content of the IPTC fields is interpreted as Unicode Big-Endian which lead to a wrong display of the fields.

Best wishes
