History

#1

Updated by Andreas Huggel about 15 years ago

Only limited information is known about Exif in CRW. The complete Exif data should be available in the THM file generated together with the CRW file. Use that.

I'll use this bug report to look through exiftool's implementation and update exiv2 if necessary.

Hello,
I can confirm the problem...
It is pretty annoying as in digiKam, only the crw files are kept. So, we can't see the focal length used in RAW files.
I can confirm that exiftool is able to read it.

Patch for displaying focal length. Only tested with PowerShot s60 raw files.

This issue has been in the database for 9 years and nobody else has requested progress with this matter. So, unless you engage to persuade me to keep this matter alive, it will be closed on April 30 as "no longer needed/wanted".
