XnView Software

Hi,
I'm using XnViewMP 0.81 x64. Found a problem in EXIF text handling.

Problem: When non-ASCII text is set to image comment, XnViewMP cannot show it correctly.

Steps:
1. Set a Japanese comment to an image with some image manipulating tool, such as XnView.


-> When viewing the thumbnail of the image with XnView, the comment is ok.


2. View the thumbnail of the image with XnViewMP.
-> The comment is shown incorrectly.



PS. Other properties, such as IPTC Object Name is ok.

XnViewMP:


Regards.

could you send me a file sample?

Hi, here is the URL of the sample image with Japanese comment: http://piulento.net/tmp/XnViewMP/IMG_0331.JPG

the problem is that JPEG comment use current locale, so there is no way to know which encoding is used

Thanks.

I consider using other fields, such as EXIF user comment or IPTC's one.
But, I wonder why XnView and other apps are ok.
