Latest version FastStone, digiKam, and ExifToolGUI.
I just have experienced a very weird occurence in FastStone and digiKam.
I have used ExifToolGUI to write missing GPS coordinates into RAW and jpeg files many many times.
A while ago, I wrote GPS information into nine jpeg image files, following the exact same procedure I have been using.
Back in FastStone, I notice that it is not acknowledging the GPS data that I had just entered.
I right-click on a thumbnail > Properties > Details and scroll down to check for the GPS data; there it is, bold as brass, displaying in Windows Properties.
BUT, it is still refusing to display in FastStone.
I closed and reopened FastStone = still no GPS; I opened a second instance and still no go; the GPS was showing on all the other files I checked, just not in any of the nine I just did.
I check ExifToolGUI and it is showing all the GPS data to be present; I clicked "Save" a couple more times.
I investigated ExifToolGUI to see if maybe some switch or other had become inadvertently changed, but there are no switches nor options governing such things that I could see.
I then check digiKam for the GPS data and it is not showing there either; I did "Reread Metadata from File" several times with no luck.
Then, I try XnViewMP and there it is, correctly displaying just as it should.
Since the GPS data was displaying in the XnView GPS Editor, without changing any details, I clicked "Write" and let it go through it's motions.
Then, I checked digiKam and now it was acknowledging the GPS.
I checked FastStone and now the GPS was displaying as it should.
This behavior is sure a mystery to me; in the eyes of three witnesses the information was obviously there; ExifToolGUI, Windows Properties, and XnViewMP were seeing the information; yet, FastStone and digiKam (and untelling how many other programs) were not seeing it.
Any ideas on what the culprit would be should I run into the problem again ?
Has this happened to anyone else ?
