Error when scanning for files with an error about invald metadada #45

Closed aseques closed 5 years ago

aseques commented 5 years ago

When scanning in a photo folder for my files, there's a message that I assume it's for several of my files that have broken (or not recognized) metadata years. Maybe if the error show the file I could fix it with another program or remove it if corrupted.

Definitely broken! Photini should be able to repair the files though. If you switch to the "technical" tab and step through your files the ones with a missing date should be obvious. Or is Photini failing to copy the files in the first place? The traceback suggests it's not handling the malformed data.

If you find which of your files is causing the problems I'd like to have a copy. I like to have a set of problem files for testing.

Unfortunately I delete the photos from the source, viewing the changes you published I will have an eye for the error on the next time. Thanks again for your attention.
