Description

Nikon makernotes contain tags which Exiv2 currently doesn't decode. Most of these are stored in binary arrays with some peculiarities to make things interesting:
  • Some of these binary arrays are encrypted
  • Some use a specific byte order
  • Some binary arrays are specific for a certain camera model or tag version

A new TiffComponent pair is required, essentially a generalization of the existing TiffArrayEntry and TiffArrayElement components. The new components should replace these, i.e., implement the existing functionality (used for Canon and Minolta makernote tags) as well.

History

#1

Updated by Andreas Huggel over 12 years ago

  • Target version changed from 0.18.1 to 1.0

Unfortunately, this has to go into 0.19: I just realized the change is not binary compatible with 0.18 (it introduces new IfdId enum values which I can't simply append).

#2

Updated by Andreas Huggel over 12 years ago

  • Target version deleted (1.0)
#3

Updated by Andreas Huggel over 12 years ago

  • Target version set to 0.19
#4

Updated by Andreas Huggel about 12 years ago

  • % Done changed from 0 to 80
#5

Updated by Andreas Huggel almost 12 years ago

  • Status changed from New to Resolved
  • % Done changed from 80 to 100

Makernotes are moving targets, there are a few more composite tags left, to be implemented in another round, together with efficiency improvements.
