[KPhotoAlbum] [Bug 214816] New: Error with new XML Format if tag-name contains characters that are not valid as XML Tags

[Dominik Stadler]

Hi,

the change in format is as follows:

previously a tag in the index.xml looked as follows:

  <image width="1600" startDate="2001-01-01T13:30:07" height="1200"
md5sum="aeee29c985d036f97ef53ef2811995a9" file="Paul, Lara und
Samuel/dscn0885.jpg" endDate="2001-01-01T13:30:07" label="dscn0885"
angle="90" >
   <options>
    <option name="Jahreszeit_Stimmung" >
     <value value="Fasching" />
    </option>
    <option name="Orte" >
     <value value="Oberkappel" />
    </option>
    <option name="Personen" >
     <value value="Paul" />
    </option>
   </options>
  </image>

now it looks like this:

  <image width="1200" Jahreszeit/Stimmung="7" Orte="6"
startDate="2001-01-01T13:30:07" height="1600"
md5sum="aeee29c985d036f97ef53ef2811995a9" Personen="18" file=XXX.jpg"
endDate="2001-01-01T13:30:07" label="dscn0885" angle="90" />

so the item "Jahreszeit/Stimmung" was an XML-VALUE before and is an XML-TAG
now. However XML puts much tighter restrictions on what an XML-TAG can
contain, that's where the problem occurs.

and yes, replacing this with e.g. underscore to "Jahreszeit_Stimmung"
allowed me to continue, however you will get this problem with anybody who
tries to use one of those characters...

Thanks... Dominik.
