At home I noticed that this issue is not occurring on two 4 years old installations of Kubuntu 32 bit (my old desktop and my netbook in my living room, both initially running Kubuntu 8.04 and now running 12.04).
I booted my new desktop with 32-bit Kubuntu 12.04 using the live CD on an USB stick. After installing the same packages: ii kipi-plugins 4:2.5.0-1ubuntu2 image manipulation/handling plugins for KIPI aware programs ii kipi-plugins-common 4:2.5.0-1ubuntu2 kipi-plugins architecture-independent data ii libkipi-data 4:4.8.3-0ubuntu0.1 data files for kipi libraries ii libkipi8 4:4.8.3-0ubuntu0.1 library for apps that want to use kipi-plugins (runtime version) I have the same issue on the 32-bit version of Kubuntu 12.04. Gwenview losses exif data on recompression. So the issue seams to affect every fresh installation of Kubuntu 12.04, 32 and 64 bits. For some strange reason my upgraded (32 bits) installations of Kubuntu are not affected. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1009230 Title: EXIF information is lost on "Recompress Images" batch processing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kipi-plugins/+bug/1009230/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
