Akar Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Hi, I'm new on this forum. I just installed the beta 1.6.0.74 and one of the first things noticed is the lack of the EXIF in exported files. Does this version needs a special setting to save EXIF, contrary to the previous, or it's a bug? Regards, Andrzej Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted June 30, 2017 Staff Share Posted June 30, 2017 Hi Andrzej,There is a known issue with development where images fail to open with metadata if they contain certain special characters. I presume you are Polish, so it is quite likely you are running into this.For example: Create two folders named below Téster Testeř Place a file inside each folder that contains metadata First open the file in the 'Téster' folder and view the EXIF Panel :D Observe the EXIF information is read Close this down and open the file in the Testeř folder and view the EXIF Panel :( Observe that the information does not display. As I said this is a known issue with development, but I believe it is actually caused by 'exiftool' which is what we use to read the data. Would it be possible to try placing a file in a folder so that the path does not contain any special characters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akar Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 Hi Sean P, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately the problem looks a little different: despite of the name of the folder (with or without special caracters) the EXIF info is not visible in the new beta. Contrary to this all work perfect in retail version 1.5.2.69 (even if the folder name contains special characters). It seems it was correct in the previous beta too, though I can't confirm it now. It looks as the step back in the new beta. (I open the files in Photo Persona). Regards, Andrzej Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akar Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 I did more tests and now I can confirm your comment: EXIF was not displayed despite of the name of the folder, because the name of the whole tree contained special character, but I confirmed once again, that it doesn't matter in the retail version. Maybe it will help? Andrzej Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Ingram Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Hi, I've found the cause of the issue, and should have a fix available soon. Patrick Connor and PaulAffinity 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
