1.97.4:Multi-line IPTC Captions still don't "break"
Posted: Wed Sep 21, 2011 12:28 am
By "break" I mean: start a new line at the appropriate marker in the string.
Take this one for an example:Likewise in IrfanView (v4.25) in Windows and Gwenview 2.2.4 with the kipi "Image" plugin in GNoME Linux.
Meanwhile, in XnView 1.97.4, I see this at Edit>Metadata>Edit IPTC Data:Caption tab
(Curiously enough, when I pasted that in, it pasted as two lines -- even Windows' clipboard saw the newline marker in it!)
I don't know what codepage exiv2 uses to write its IPTC, but I suspect it's the standard for most applications, as Andreas is a stickler for such things.
Any chance of getting this changed or improved?

Take this one for an example:
Written to the JPEG file using exiv2 0.21.1 in Cygwin, the same CLI application reads it back as:CAPTION IN TEXT EDITOR:
She looks vaguely like a Klingon
(and she probably doesn't even watch Star Trek).
Code: Select all
