Problem with custom tags while importing

[gioman]

Hi i have images i beforehand entered "normal" tags like lat lon, but also custom tags defined through a config file. I do this process through an excel vba + exiftool-batch stuff, and exiftool reads and writes those values without any complaints as often as i like.

Those images seem to cause problems with the plugin though. Setting the input directory to a dir with such an image gives an error:

The mouse pointer is busy all the time and the dialog stays open but is the background. No attributes are shown, not even the normal exif-tags. When i in addition add the path to the .config, i get this error.

It is possible to complete the task and create a shapefile with the proper coordinates, but the attribute list only contains filepath and filename.

After closing the dialog, the mouse pointer is still indicating busyness until i restart Qgis completely.

Config file:

    },
);
