[digiKam-users] Read Error in windows version but not in linux version

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi,

This message do not come from digiKam directly, but from Exiv2 shared
library. It's not a bug as the message is clear : it's a limitation.

Now the question is why it appear under Windows and not Linux. I don't
know. The Question must be posted to Exiv2 team, to be clear.

Best
