--- Comment #1 from José Oliver-Didier <jose_oli...@hotmail.com> --- Created attachment 158334 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=158334&action=edit Display error message until exiftool can be used for all read/write operations? What I am surmising here is that Digikam uses exiv2 to read the metadata and build a "tag file" which is then used by exiftool to write to the file. Prior to writing the tags, exiv2 is failing, hence the "Error #37", writes an empty tag file and as such exiftool erases the metadata and replaces it with the empty file. I believe that if there is no immediate fix for this issue because of the exiv2 dependency this should produce an error to the user and not apply the changes to the files. Similar behavior can be observed in Microsoft Windows Photos app which displays the error message: "Description can't be saved." However, Exiftool is able to read and write to the file. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
