Add/Edit Exif not possible, if Exif data is not available in photo #7084

Open Offerel opened 1 month ago

Offerel commented 1 month ago

Short description Im not really sure, if this is a bug, but i assume, it is one. I know, i can edit EXIF data in RawTherapee. But when a photo doesn’t have ANY EXIF data at all, all the edit EXIF data fields are empty and i cant add new fields by myself. The functionality for EXIF is completely deactivated in this case. At least in my opinion, this is a bug. It should be possible to add fields like DateTimeOriginal manually, if they don’t exist or EXIF is empty completely.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Prepare a photo or use a photo without any Exif data
  2. Open the photo in RawTherapee edit module
  3. Go to tab Metadata
  4. No fields are visible in Exif tab
  5. It is not possible to add new metadata like DateTimeOriginal
  6. Add some exif metadata with exiftool (or similar software)
  7. Open the photo again in RawTherapee
  8. Exif fields are visible.
  9. It is possible to change/edit/add new values

Expected behavior adding/editing of Exif fields should be possible, when no exif data are available in the photo

Not sure if it is a bug as the metadata handling is copied from ART. There is no way to add new metadata fields by design. It is only possible to edit, and only select fields are editable.

I have no idea, if this was copied from ART. But in ART it is working fine, with the same photo.

That feature must have been added after the copying.
