           Summary: EXIF UserComments with special characters get tagged
                    as ASCII
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.0.0-beta3
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kdebugs at CustomCDROM.de


Version:           1.0.0-beta3 (using 4.3.00 (KDE 4.3.0), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.30-1-686

If storing to image metadata is activated, digiKam generates invalid EXIF
UserComment charset identifiers.

The UserComment field is tagged as "ASCII" although the actual content seems to
be encoded in my system's locale, ISO 8859-15.
I'd like to see the string encoded as UTF-8 and tagged as UNICODE if it cannot
be represented as an ASCII string.

The current behaviour creates invalid UserComment fields and further metadata
processing in other application gets messed up.
