Exiv2

Hi A

Yes I will help. I'm on vacation and will be home on Sunday evening (23 June). I'll look at this next week.

We moved to code to GitHub when we released v0.26 in April 2017. If this is urgent, you could raise a bug on http://github.com/exiv2/exiv2

Robin

Thanks for the reply we are not in a hurry

I hope your holidays have gone well and have your own advice about the bug

Apologies: I forgot about you. I've been busy deal with MSVC/ and MinGW/. I'll try to look at your stuff later today.

More apologies. I was working until after 8pm last night to deal (successfully) with the MSYS2 (mingw) and msvc matters. I have a busy day today and England are playing Belgium in the World Cup tonight. (I'm Scottish and live in England.). You're not forgotten. It'll probably be tomorrow before I can get to your issue.

I've looked at this. I don't understand the bug as it is described as part of the GIMP User Experience. Can you explain this bug using the command line-program exiv2(.exe)?

Here's what I see:

What's the issue?

The problem is where write the correct metadata info, if you can comment on that bug your experience and courtesy would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

This matter is closed. I am not getting involved in that discussion on the Gimp Forum.
