Thanks for making clear that Gwenview does use exiv2 libraries. The changes in that code result in changing display of the exiv data. However, I disagree that this is an upstream issue. When the developer of Gwenview decides to use some unstable library with version numbers 0.xx he holds the obligation to check from time to time that his application still works as expected and eventually adapt his own code in order to maintain the expected functionality. This has not happened for Gewenview and therefore my bug entry still is valid. The maintainer should adapt his code to the latest version or better use some workaround so that his codes can cooperate with older or newer versions of exiv. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
