UTF8 support / error in metadata import

Open stellardeveloper opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

It is nice that commonist uses EXIF metadata for some fields like the description field. However, it would be fine if UTF8 characters were accepted correctly. In German there are some special characters, which are notimported properly from the images (my images and metadata were exported from Lightroom).

BTW: Is there the possibility to import the category as well? If so, from which EXIF-tag?

i think the problem is here https://github.com/ritschwumm/commonist/blob/master/src/main/scala/commonist/util/EXIF.scala#L160 so the culprit might be sanselan. do you have a file for me where this is a problem so i can check?

about importing categories: if i knew which exif tag to read it from, i could probably make it work. may be worth opening another issue.
