[Req] Create metadata (IPTC thumbnail)

Post by nerbrume »

Hello,

While converting, I sometimes need to convert from jpg to jpg, with original jpg having no metadata at all (no IPTC field, and no embedded thumbnail).
Presently, the "Rebuild embedded thumbnail" option does nothing, and the converted image stay with no embedded thumbnail...

Would it be possible for this option to actually create the thumbnail, in a corresponding IPTC field ?


Thanks !

Yes, a bug...

Embedded thumbnail is only in EXIF

Ooops, indeed, I mixed IPTC and EXIF !
Thanks for the fast answer. I'm now eagerly waiting for the next version...
