[digiKam-users] GPS data issue

[Christophe BOUDEAU]

Hi, (english is not my mother language so I hope you will understand me)

I use Digikam 5.8 on windows 10.
I have modified (created) GPS data in some pictures (JPEG file) with Geosetter v3.5.0. When for some pictures Digikam seems to not 'see' the GPS data. The GPS data are in the files but there is not the Earth globe on the thumbnail (screnn capture below)

but for the first picture:

Do you know why Digikam do not see/understand GPS data? If yes how to fix this issue please?

Thank you.

Hi,

There are plenty of reason. One is about the wrong precision of satellite measurements at shot. In other words, there is a quality of GPS info and a threshold to accept the values.

I think last 6.1.0 has improved this behavior. I recommend to switch to this version an try again (for ce to rescan items to repopulate the database).

Best

First, use a newer version of digiKam. The current version is digiKam-6.1.0.
If the geolocation was later added, then use the re-read metadata action from
the "Item" menu to update the database.
