            Bug ID: 374012
           Summary: Binary "Exif.Photo.UserComment" converted to
                    "METADATA-START" caption at import
           Product: digikam
           Version: 5.3.0

Image before and after the import

When importing images with binary UserComment the image caption is set to
"METADATA-START".

I import an image via Import/Add Images which has a binary value in
Exif.Photo.UserComment.
I select one image which hasn't a description yet and press "Download
selected".
Afterwards in digikam this image has the caption "METADATA-START".
exiv2 output before:
Exif.Photo.UserComment                       Undefined 4104  (Binary value
suppressed)

and afterwards:
Exif.Photo.UserComment                       Undefined  22  METADATA-START

I would expect digikam to either interpret the binary value or completely
ignore it, but not to fill the captions with "METADATA-START".

exiv2 0.25 001900 (64 bit build)
