GPS metadata inconsistencies

[Tom Cunningham]

Hello, I’m new to digiKam so there may be a workaround for this, but I couldn’t find anything similar in the KDE bug database.  I have a picture that shows the following GPS metadata in the right sidebar:

 

 

However, when I switch to Geolocation, the following information appears at the bottom of the sidebar:

 

 

And the map displays in China (should be Texas; longitude should be negative).

 

As a check, I dumped out the GPS metadata using ExifTool:

 

---- GPS ----

GPS Version ID                  : 2.3.0.0

GPS Latitude Ref                : North

GPS Latitude                    : 32 deg 28' 56.50"

GPS Longitude Ref               : West

GPS Longitude                   : 96 deg 59' 40.02"

GPS Altitude Ref                : Above Sea Level

GPS Altitude                    : 229 m

GPS Map Datum                   : WGS-84

---- XMP-exif ----

GPS Altitude                    : 229 m

GPS Altitude Ref                : Above Sea Level

GPS Latitude                    : 32 deg 28' 56.50" N

GPS Longitude                   : 96 deg 59' 40.02" W

GPS Longitude Ref               : W

GPS Map Datum                   : WGS-84

GPS Version ID                  : 2.3.0.0

---- Composite ----

GPS Altitude                    : 229 m Above Sea Level

GPS Latitude                    : 32 deg 28' 56.50" N

GPS Latitude Ref                : North

GPS Longitude                   : 96 deg 59' 40.02" W

GPS Longitude Ref               : West

GPS Position                    : 32 deg 28' 56.50" N, 96 deg 59' 40.02" W

 

This agrees with the digiKam GPS metadata, but I’m not sure which bits the Geolocation sidebar is referencing.  I’m using digiKam 4.12 on Windows 10; I also tried digiKam 3.5 on Ubuntu 14.04 with similar results.  Anyone have any insight into this problem?

There is a problem, yes.

Look altitude entry. It's must be 229m, no 0m.

Please open a new file in bugzilla into digiKam/geolocation section, with this description of the problem plus a link to the file to reproduce the problem (this last point is very important)

Thanks in advance

So it looks like this bug has been fixed in version 5.  Is there any timeline for when a version 5 Windows installer will be available?  If not, is there any straightforward way of building digiKam under Cygwin?

Thanks,

Tom Cunningham
