[digiKam-users] Geolocation Editor fails to apply data

[Karl Mistelberger]

The geolocation editor readily correlates images, but fails to apply data. The
option worked with digikam 6.4.0-3.2 but failed with 6.4.0-3.3 and later.

[Maik Qualmann]

In digiKam-7.0.0 there is a new metadata setting in the setup to write
geolocation information into images. As with all other metadata writing
options, the default setting is disabled.

I checked "Write Geolocation information (GPS)" in the metadata settings
dialog, but the editor still does not write the information.

Start digiKam in the terminal and activate the debug output beforehand with:

export QT_LOGGING_RULES="digikam.*=true"

Post the output after trying to write the geolocation information.

If it is the complete output after pressing the Apply button from the dialog, the writing process is actually missing. I cannot reproduce a problem here with either the Linux or the Windows version. Anything special used? Do you use sidecars? The images are RAW or JPG files? Since you are writing that a package version (6.4.0-3.2 work, but failed with 6.4.0-3.3) change occurred, it cannot be related to a code change on our part.

Found the culprit. Geotagging worked well but in one folder. Saved this folder
and downloaded again. One image was different. No visible damage, but it made
the editor silently skip all writes in that folder.
