IPTC/XMP caption encoding on Windows and Linux

[rmtk]

I found that all IPTC/XMP captions in Chinese I wrote on Linux version of XnViewMP turn into unrecognizable characters on Windows version, while Chinese captions wrote on Windows version is not readable on Linux version either.
Seem to be an encoding issue.

in XMP metadata too??
you can change iptc encoding to utf8

OK, now solved.
I think it's better to set "use utf-8 to write iptc fields" as default.

Hi,

Cday, thanks for the answer!
But I can't find function of edit IPTC data. In XnView - Edit -> Metadata -> Edit IPTC data. And I can to do it in XnViewMP?

It's moved:

Tools > Metadata > Edit IPTC/XMP...

Note: I don't use the browser, I just like a challenge...

I was irritated when i saw that it is not!

In v0.84 (and probably earlier), "Use utf-8 to write iptc fields" is on by default.
