(Non ascii geonames) Exif Reader doesn't print exif info on Linux

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. in GPicSync, select Tools > Exif Reader, then "all exif metadata"
2. choose a file (take this one:
http://francois.schnell.free.fr/geo/29Apr07/IMG_2884.JPG saved locally)
3. the "console window" just shows:

Selected metada in the EXIF header of the picture : 
---------------------------------------------------------------

and nothing else. 

If you examine this very same file with gexif, you'll see all exif
informations, with GPS values defined (48°N, 8°E ...)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
GPicSync should display exif informations (at least the GPS-related ones)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
GPicSync 0.93 on Linux Mandriva 2007.1

Please provide any additional information below.

This bug could be important as this avoids GPicSync to work correctly
(claims : "WARNING: DIDN'T GEOCODE, no track point at this picture date")
More debug in progress.

Ok I took the filter off. (you can do a checkout of the SVN, it will be in the 
next
build also).

Thanks.

Geocoding should work, it does on my XP and Feisty box with this picture and the
associated gpx (maybe you've tried with another gpx and let the option "dates 
must
match").

Here's what happened in this particular case (the file you chose is a little 
special)

It's already been geocoded with the "geonames" option and since it was in 
germany
there is a special german caracter in the keywords section.

The reading from EXIF Tool reader (all tags) doesn't stop on my XP box but it 
does on
my Feisty one with this picture (there's a unicode problem I'll have to look 
at).

When you ask "all Exif" in Linux it will complain when it reads the special 
character
in the keywords section. When you geocode I only read the Original Date Time 
tag so
there shouldn't be any problem (I don't read the keywords section for that).

For information, If you use Flickr the special characters will be displayed 
properly.
