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.
