Bug ID: 501067
Summary: Changing Creation Date / Date Time Original with
metadata Editor / Exif changes content of description
field to Chinese characters if content contained
special characters (ä, ö, ü, ß)
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version: 8.5.0
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

Starting point
SUMMARY
If the description tag of a photo contains special characters that are for
instance common in German (e. g. ö, ü, ä, ß) editing an EXIF-time tag (e. g.
DateTimeOriginal) via the Metadata Editor changes the content of the
description field to seemingly random Chinese characters (according to deepl
some of the characters end up meaning "shot", "vase", "injection" , "sun",
"climbing" among other meanings but apparently don't add up to something
meaningful).
A following second edit of a time tag changes the content of the description
field back to its original state (given it is no "ß", where the character just
stays Cinese).
With every additional edit of the time tags the description tag alternates
between original content and Chinese characters.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select a photo that has content in the description tag (XMP, IPTC)
2. Open Metadata-Editor
3. Edit any tag in Exif > Date and Time (e.g. Creation Date) with
"synchronization for XMP/iptc on"
4. Apply changes
5. Edit time tag a second time
6. apply changes
7. edit time tag a third time
8. apply changes
OBSERVED RESULT
1-4:
- time/date tag correctly changed in EXIF, IPTC, XMP
- content of description tags (EXIF, IPTC, XMP) changes to Chinese characters
5-6:
- time/date tag correctly changed in EXIF, IPTC, XMP
- content of description tags (EXIF, IPTC, XMP) changes back to original
7-8:
- time/date tag correctly changed in EXIF, IPTC, XMP
- content of description tags (EXIF, IPTC, XMP) changes back to Chinese
characters
EXPECTED RESULT
only time tags change, no alternating between random Chinese characters and
original content of description tags
