--- Comment #19 from Gilles Caulier <[hidden email]> ---
I used media-gfx/exiv2-0.23 since "23. Feb 2013" together with
 - media-gfx/digikam-2.9.0
 - media-gfx/digikam-3.1.0
 - media-gfx/digikam-3.5.0
In all this time, I can't remember to have encountered this bug. So did digiKam
4.x break compatibility with media-gfx/exiv2-0.23?

==> digiKam no, because it don't use Exiv2 API directly. All is done through
libkexiv2 interface.

Done compiling. But bad news: Bug is still there. :(

Details: I installed "media-gfx/exiv2-0.24", which replaced
"media-gfx/exiv2-0.23". Gentoo automatically compiled
"kde-base/libkexiv2-4.12.5" again, to use exiv2-0.24.
After this, I started digiKam, which lists at "Components Information":
------------------ 8< ------------------
  [...]
  LibExiv2 0.24
  [...]
  LibKExiv2 2.3.1
  [...]
------------------ >8 ------------------
But there are still no EXIF informations shown in the "Metadata" tab of the
right side view. :(

Then I even recompiled digiKam, but this did not change anything.

Peter,

Ok, so i suspect a garbage in your digiKam configuration file.

Rename your ~/.kde4/share/config/digikamrc file as *.old. Restart digiKam, and
try again

I moved my "digikamrc" file away, started digiKam and click through the
configuration wizard, without changing one single option. Then I pasted one
image in the new album, but the EXIF tab of the "Metadata" side view keeps
empty.

Well, i don't know why this problem happen, and why i cannot reproduce it
here...

Somebody use git/master code (next 4.3.0 release) to check if this problem
disappear ?

Hi,

after reading about this bug report I think its something openSuSE 13.1
specific. I also run digikam 4.3 (package built by openSuSE) on a openSuSE 13.1
system and have the very same problem.

To make sure that its not a specific setting I created a new user account on my
system and started digikam for the new user and saw the same problem.

From digikams component information I get this info:
LibExiv2: 0.23
LibKExiv2: 2.3.1

However when I try to find the version of libkexiv2 I get different versions.

Which version does digikam dynamically link in:
[krienke@bliss:~/tmp] 1017 > ldd /usr/bin/digikam|grep exiv
        libkexiv2.so.11 => /usr/lib64/libkexiv2.so.11 (0x00002b3323dab000)
        libexiv2.so.12 => /usr/lib64/libexiv2.so.12 (0x00002b332c4e7000)

Which rpm package does this so lib file belong to:
[krienke@bliss:~/tmp] 1018 > rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libkexiv2.so.11
libkexiv2-11-4.11.5-298.1.x86_64

Print Information about the package:
[krienke@bliss:~/tmp] 1019 > rpm -qi libkexiv2-11
Name        : libkexiv2-11
Version     : 4.11.5
Release     : 298.1
Architecture: x86_64
Install Date: Fr 07 Feb 2014 10:42:08 CET
Group       : Development/Libraries/KDE
....

So digikam reports version  2.3.1 for libkexiv2, the rpm package management
reports Version 4.11.5.

Actually I am confused now.

The right Exiv2 or libkexiv2 libraries version used by digiKam are listed in
Help/Components Info dialog.

All other information taken from package manager cannot indicate which
libraries are used by digiKam, but only installed one.

The digiKam dialog show components used to compile and link digiKam. There is
no doubt using this dialog.

Hi,

The solution proposed Sept. 27 by Gian Paolo Sanino Vattier in"SOLVED:
updated to DK4.3.0 purpose it crashes and can not go back to 4.2.0 ..."
topic, solvemissing EXIFbug.

On opensuse 13.1, simply install both packages offered by Gian Paolo (or
only libkexiv2-11-4.14.1-1.1, if DK 4.3.0-24.1 packageis already
installed, which was my case).

#338783 The bug is solved for me.:-)

Hello Jean Pierre,

thanks for the hint. Using libkexiv2

http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/KDE:/Current/openSUSE_13.1/x86_64/libkexiv2-11-4.14.1-1.1.x86_64.rpm

found by Gian Paolo Sanino Vattier it works fine now.  However the versioning
of libkexiv2 seems to be  mixed up else I cannot understand that digikam tells
me that this new Version is V2.3.1 and the package itself says it contains
V4.14.1.

Anyway it works...

Thanks
Rainer

Thanks for the hint on using "libkexiv2 4.14.1".
Unfortunatly on gentoo linux this package depends on KDE 4.14.1, which is still
marked as unstable in gentoo portage. Using this would mean a lot of
"accept_keywords"-configuration with great potential of other failure. ;)
So I'm waiting for KDE 4.14.1 becoming stable in "gentoo world". I will report
again then.

Following response from Jean Pierre and Krienke, this file sound solved to
update libkexiv2.

I close this file now. Don't hesitate to re-open if necessary.
