[Digikam-users] No EXIF/XMP info in "Metadata" sideview

[Simon Cropper]

Peter,

rename the file and put it into a new sub-album under your main album. 
Do you still have the problem? [if it fixes the problem it is artifacts 
in the database that is confusing digikam]

If so, post a link to an uploaded file for others to see if the metadata 
is standard format and can be read by others [if it is only one file, it 
has occurred that the metadata has become corrupt causing the libraries 
used to extract metadata to baulk].

Is this the only file with this problem or does every file on your 
system behave the same?
