Package: libimage-info-perl
Version: 1.21-1
Severity: normal
When trying to retrieve the string contained in the UserComment field of an
Exif tag of a JPEG, the library always returns 'ASCII' instead of the
comment if there is any.
I tried to find out where it goes wrong but couldn't determine this
exactly. It is somewhere in TIFF.pm though. When the data dumping of
the ifds is enabled in JPEG.pm, one can see the probleem:
(this is OK...)
...
[
'DateTimeDigitized',
'ASCII',
20,
'2006:06:15 20:23:14'
],
...
(but then...)
[
'UserComment',
'UNDEFINED',
22,
'ASCII'
],
It seems as if the type is shifted to the content field. Consequently the
provided content length number of 22 doesn't match the real content length.
Regards,
Paul
