Bug ID: 481755 Summary: exiftool not used as backend even when configured in settings Classification: Applications Product: digikam Version: 8.3.0 Platform: Microsoft Windows OS: Microsoft Windows Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Metadata-Engine Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: betoke...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY *** "Delegate do exiftool backend all operations to write metadata to files" is marked but digikam will still use Exiv2. *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Enable exiftool backend to write metadata 2. Bouce digikam (necessary?) 3. Write metadata to a file OBSERVED RESULT >From debugview: [11044] digikam.metaengine: Cannot export changes with Exiv2 backend: (Error # 38 : "Size of XMP JPEG segment is larger than 65535 bytes" [11044] digikam.metaengine: Exiv2 error exception for "PXL_1369.JPG" Writing of metadata aborted! EXPECTED RESULT I am trying using exiftool to overcome the 64k limitation in XMP segment. Setting exiftool as backend should allow >64K. But there is no evidence in the log exiftool is actually being used. Checking the file directly with exiftool also does not show the additional tags I am trying to write.
