[Digikam-users] New issue with NEF metadata edit and CaptureNX

[Photonoxx]

Hi,

I have may be something new !

I have build and  instal Exiv2, Kdegraphics libs, Digikam and Kipiplugins  
 from SVN. The first test give the same matters, but continuing tests, I  
notice the MakerNotes:colorhue is absent from the edited NEF.

In the original file, this tag is set with the value "MODE3" (case  
sensitive), and if I set with exiftool an other value like "mode3" or  
anything else than MODE(1,2,or 3), the file can't be opened by CaptureNX,  
if i set back MODE(1,2,or 3) value, CaptureNX succed to open it !!

I try to add this tag to a digikam edited Nef file, but exiftool seems to  
don't wan't to create this particular, but if I'm copying it from the  
original file, I succeed to open it again in CaptureNX.

Now, I have no idea from where come this matter, and I have to verify on  
other file if it's working or if if it works only for this particular file.


Kind regards

Nicolas
