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

[Peter Albrecht]

Hi Simon,

thanks for your answer.

I don't think, it is a database error, since I deleted my
digiKam database and had it rebuild with digiKam 4.2.0 from
the metadata in my image files.

All files are affected. Totally new ones, taken today, and
images I took 10 years ago. Those old images worked fine
with digiKam 3.5.0.

I put down a lot of details at:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=338783

Regards,
	Peter
