--- Comment #11 from Marcel Wiesweg <marcel.wiesweg at gmx.de> ---
Coming back to this file, there are some questions for Andreas:
Indeed exiv2 seems to be doing some charset detection in the IPTC
implementation, with detectCharset returning "UTF-8" or "ASCII".
- are the returned std::strings from the ITPCData in this encoding?
- what would a return value of 0 tell us?
- writing: need the std::strings added to IPTC data expected to be in the same
encoding
- is there a way to set/convert the encoding, possibly with the Coded Character
Set 1:90 tag as mentioned in the MWG guidance or is this left to the
application (read all strings, convert them, set the
"Iptc.Envelope.CharacterSet" to the cryptic "\033%G" value what ever that is)
(I believe we dont want to do that though, but write IPTC as 7bit ASCII
everywhere)
