[digiKam-users] exiv2 corrupted image metadata

[Maik Qualmann]

I have downloaded about 10 sample images of the Sony A77II from the web, none 
of them have the problem. It is possible that a few bits "fell over" during 
the transfer or on the SD card. Maybe the previous version of Exiv2 was more 
tolerant.
