Bug ID: 496364
Summary: Metadata writing damages tiff files
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version: 8.5.0
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: critical
Priority: NOR
Component: Metadata-Engine
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: digb...@binkmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
digikam silently trashes tif files when metadata is written.
Observed by
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. With metadata writing enabled add a face tag to a tif file produced by
photoshop which contains photoshop layer tags.
OBSERVED RESULT
The file is re-written with photoshop layers removed. I only observed when
loading into photoshop the layers were gone. I don't know if other tags were
removed. Layer tags are often large (100MB+) which may be relevant.
I only noticed the problem when updating a back up copy of some files and saw
some file were 100MB+ smaller. Lucky I noticed before trashing the backups as
well.
EXPECTED RESULT
Digikam not destroy parts of my tif files.
