Meta data addition corrupts exif data #127

Open mgray06 opened 3 years ago

mgray06 commented 3 years ago 
 * Pix version 2.6.3
 * Distribution - Mint 20.1

Issue Same as #72 Adding an image description also adds this text as user comment but incorrectly. When the description field in Pix is saved this is how exiftool responds exiftool -imagedescription testshota.JPG Warning: Invalid EXIF text encoding for UserComment - testshota.JPG

Steps to reproduce Add some description metadata to any jpeg issue the command exiftool -imagedescription testshota.JPG

Expected behaviour The description entered will be output

Problem still exists in Pix version 2.6.5 As editing meta data corrupts it Pix is not suitable as a meta data editor
