Wrong descriptions of GPS tags

[linux newbie-2]

Hi,

I'm using digikam 0.8.2 (as provided by Mandriva 2007) and notice that the description of the metadata tags for GPS information are incorrect.  I'm not sure if this is handled by digikam itself or in the exif library?

If I look at the properties of a jpg with GPS information added, I see the following tags:

  GPS tag version     0x02, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00

  InteroperabilityIndex N

  InteroperabilityVersion   47.00, 13.83, 0.00

  East or West Longitude E

  Longitude       7.00, 24.21, 0.00

  Altitude reference  0x00

  Altitude                1377.98

  InteroperabilityIndex   R98

  InteroperabilityVersion

Obviously the labels for "North or South Latitude" and "Latitude" are incorrect, even though they can be properly read out by two other programs.  However as I said I'm not sure if the labels come from digikam or from the exiv2 library?

 

As a separate question, I downloaded the source tarball for digikam-0.9.0-beta2 and can see that all the spelling mistakes which I submitted to the team (to the devel mailing list) back in March, are _still_ present in the latest tarball.  Can you tell me how long it will take for the corrections I submitted to get incorporated into the release?

 

Thanks!

In 0.8.x, Exif info are decoded by libexif, not digiKam. Please report this
problem to libexif project team.

Note: on 0.9.0, we use Exiv2 library instead libexif.

March !!! Never use Mailing for that, but use KDE bugzilla. Nothing will be
lost like that.

Witch spelling mistakes exactly ? Are you check into the last 0.9.0-beta3 ?

OK.  At the time I asked what was the best way to submit them, and was told to attach a diff to the mailing list, so that is what I did.  See devel mailing list archives (actually from February 2006): "How to submit typo corrections?"

No, I checked the 0.9.0-beta2, which is listed as the "latest" tarball on sourceforge, linked from here: http://www.digikam.org/?q=download/tarball

I could check the beta3 tarball too.  But I guess the KDE language teams will do a full spelling check (particularly the English) for you before a full 0.9 release?

 

I'll also contact the libexif team, but I guess if digikam will use exiv2 soon then there's not much point.

 

By the way, I love the sound of the new GPS tools in the forthcoming digikam - they look great!  I've been using a tool called gpscorrelate recently to do more or less the same thing.
