Hello Tobias, Actually this is a security-feature. As I wrote in bug #116589: For safety reason, rdjpgcom output non printable characters in jpeg comments as octal sequences, to avoid security problem when reading comments in 'untrusted' jpeg files. You can convert octal sequence to character with % /bin/echo -e `rdjpgcom orig1.jpg` I am not sure how this can be improved.
