Summary: geolocalization kipi plugin does not work with non-jpeg
file types
Product: digikam
Version: unspecified
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
ReportedBy: thorsten.schnebeck gmx net
Version: KDE-3-SVN (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from: Compiled From Sources
OS: Linux
exiv2 is able to write geodata metadata into e.g png files.
Its easy to tests this: Take a jpeg, add geo-data with the kipi-plugin, open in digikams image editor and save as png. You will see, the geo-data are part of the png metadata.
But you can not add these geo-tag direct into a png, as you can find code like this in this plugin:
[...]
// We only add all JPEG files as R/W because Exiv2 can't yet
// update metadata on others file formats.
QFileInfo fi(url.path());
QString ext = fi.extension(false).upper();
bool ret = false;
if (ext == QString("JPG") || ext == QString("JPEG") || ext == QString("JPE"))
{
[...]
So, the comment in the source code is definitely wrong and to test the file format a simple extention is used. What about kde standard test to check a filetype based on MIME data?
KMimeType::Ptr type = KMimeType::findByURL("/home/bernd/foobar.jpg");
vs
KMimeMagicResult *result = KMimeMagic::self()->findFileType("/home/bernd/foobar.jpg");

P.S.
This is a copy of BR148912 that was not forwarded to the developers from the list admin since 14 days. So I had to assign this BR to the wrong package and the digikam devels have additional needless work. Sorry for this.
