IPTC in TIF

I'm trying again some features of IPTC, here some remarks:
"Imagetype" (allowed only 2 bytes):
I set this tag with exiv/2 to "imagety", here my results:
Code: Select all
Exiftool:
Imagetype : imagety
XnView-Export:
???? : imagety
Same behaviour with "Subject" (allowed 236 bytes):
I set this tag with exiv/2 to "subj", IPTC-export shows:
Code: Select all
Exiftool:
Subject Reference : subj
XnView-Export:
???? : subj
Both tags are not displayed in IPTC-Dialogue.
Regards
Peter

Ok, no supported tag can not be showed or edited... XnView support only the most used iptc tag

Another problem: I filled some tags with Exiv2.exe with German Umlaute - I entered
XnView does not handle it always correct. Here is the result of the IPTC-export:
(Sorry - the forum does not except some special strings from the export-file. I have to replace them with XXX)
D:\IPTC_Test_Umlaute.tif
Code: Select all

I will sent you the TIF with e-mail.
BTW: Also Exiftool handles both entries in a different way then the other entreis ... ???

It seems that these 2 fields are not encoded correctly... (in utf8, other fields are in local charset)

Thank you Pierre. Yes, I found the problem in the definition of encoding - wrong entries had definitions "ft_stringw" instead of "ft_string".

Discussing this issue on the TC-forum it is said that the problem is caused by XnView, not by TC-plugin:

Maybe you can take a look at this?

Strange, default encoding is Latin1, so fields must not use utf8. I've tested in photoshop and in zoner photo studio, and it's the same as XnView...

One small issue: The export in 1.98 has the colons ":" not exactly one under another ...
Thanks
