Exif metadata writing fails on JPEG export if path contains non-ascii character(s)

[Danny Heijl]

Version: 1.4.1 Windows.

If a folder name contains a non-ascii character, like ë (iso-8859-1 0xEB), an “error 2 file not found” occurs on writing the exif metadata to the JPEG file during export, and the exif data is missing from the JPEG.

Only tested on Windows so far.

are you building ART yourself? Are you sure you have exiv2 built with EXV_UNICODE_PATH defined? Did you try with the provided installer?

[Danny Heijl]

I did not build myself, I used the Windows builds linked on the wiki page (zip or 7z, not the installer).

[agriggio]

Well, I don’t know how those have been built (ping @Gaaned92 ), but the installer should work (at least it works here)

[Danny Heijl]

Just tried the latest installer, and it works here too. Sorry for the false alarm.

[agriggio]

I wouldn’t call this a false alarm. Indeed, you need to compile exiv2 with the right flags (i.e. with EXV_UNICODE_PATH defined) on windows in order for this to work, and it’s good to know that some of the builds have issues.

[Danny Heijl]

Only an issue in nightly Windows builds, not in the released installer.

[Gaaned92]

I was not aware that there was an option to build exiv2 with unicode.

Should be ok now

Thanks!
