under linux/fedora gps latitude and geonames are not written in metatags #122

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
I followed all instructions and installed the linux dependencies, I am using 
Fedora 16. I also had to install http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Unidecode, this 
was not described in the README file. However, when I synch the gps longitude 
and altitude are correctly written in the meta information, but the altitude is 
missing, also the geonames are missing.

From the log file and the output of the synch process it is clear that the 
correct latitude is found from the gpx file and also the correct geonames are 
fetched (from http://ws.geonames.org I think). But these values cannot be 
written in the meta information of the picture. So I believe there is a problem 
in writing metatags in linux/fedora. I also tested the program under Windows 
Vista and everything works fine.

Thanks for any help

Please close the issue, it turn out I was using some crappy program to view the 
metatags, using the tool exiftool I can see that all GPS as well as geonames 
are properly set. So it works under linux/Fedora 16! I would suggest to include 
in the README file also a dependency to Unicode to make is easier to install.
