Bug ID: 370443
Summary: jp2 metadata: Unrecognized UUID EXIF box
Product: digikam
Version: 5.2.0
Platform: MS Windows
OS: MS Windows
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: Metadata
Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
Reporter: herb.k at web.de
Hello,
I work with digiKam and ShowFoto 5.2.0 on a Win 7 system.
In order to come to know ShowFoto I played with it. So I also opened a *.jpg
(with Exif metadata) image and stored it as *.jp2.
Now Exiftool cannot read the Exif metadata written by ShowFoto. It reports :
Unrecognized UUID EXIF box.
Also XnViewMP - which uses an Adobe toolkit for metadata - does not read the
metadata of *.jp2 file.
I asked Phil Harvey, the developer of Exifttol, and he stated:
"Digikam has apparently written a JPEG EXIF header in front of the TIFF header
(six extra bytes: "Exif\0\0"), so ExifTool gives the warning and can't process
the EXIF.
>From interoperability point of view this is a very bad situation.
Because Exiftool and XnViewXP write a "common format" of the uuid tag, I guess
the problem could be on digiKam side.
Please help to solve the major interoperability problem.
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Herb
Reproducible: Always
