            Bug ID: 338783
           Summary: No EXIF/XMP info in "Metadata" sideview
           Product: digikam
           Version: 4.2.0
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Metadata
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: px79 at crazymonkeys.de

If I select a photo (e.g. "myPhoto.jpg") in Album-View, the
"Metadata" side view on the right side does not show any
EXIF or XMP information of this image. The list of metadata
is totally blank.

On the console
   # exiv2 -p a myPhoto.jpg
lists lots of "Exif...." and "Xmp..." lines.

The strang thing is: The "Metadata" side view does show
"Makernote" and "IPTC" metadata for "myPhoto.jpg"


I tried all filter modes in the "Metadata" side view:
  - "No filter"
  - "Photograph"
  - "Custom"
=> the list of metadata keeps blank.

The "Search..." filter-input-control is empty.

I went to "Settings -> Configure digikam... -> Metadata ->
Display" and for EXIF viewer, I...
  - selected all ("Select All" Button)
  - selected none ("Clear" Button)
  - tried the default ("Default" Button)
=> the list of EXIF metadata keeps empty all the time.


On the other hand, digiKam could read the metadata some way:
The tooltip in album view does show sane values for
"Aperture", "Focal", "Exposure" and "Sensitivity".


I use digiKam 4.2.0 with KDE 4.12.5 on gentoo linux.
