[KPhotoAlbum] charset="InvalidCharsetId"

Fri Jul 3 22:45:00 BST 2009

[Repost of message originally sent to jedd off list]

Since this was originally sent (off list), it has been determined that:
The problem has to do with the exif information.
An old picture that did not come from this camera did no have this problem.

Tried the strace.
1) only "interesting" thing I saw was a bunch of:
read(5, 0x8277154, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)

messages interspersed with stuff that looked normal. (and it froze my
konsole session so bad, I had to close the session.)

2) tried to do a tee, but kpa took tee as one of it's arguments so that
didn't work. I didn't try to fool around with subshells, etc. to get
around that.

3) Output from exifprobe follows for one of the pictures that has this
error message.

TIA
