Exif window is empty #1511

Closed philippludwig closed 2 months ago

philippludwig commented 2 months ago

Setup (please complete the following information):

Describe the bug The exif window is empty and does not display any EXIF data.

To reproduce Open any image with EXIF data.

Expected behavior Exif data should be displayed; at least the comment and the description:

Comment                         : Created with GIMP
Description                     : test_description

I do not think that image contains exif data. Please try one of these files to check if any exif data is displayed: https://pixelpeeper.com/photos

It does. exiftool shows e.g. the comment and the description.

With one of the sample images from that URL Ctrl+E works as intended. Why it's not working with my sample image I have no idea, but I guess the problem lays somewhere else.

I think exiftool is displaying the "jpeg comment", which is not the same as the "exif comment". This has caused some confusion before:
