David's Batch Processor shows "Execution error for procedure 'gimp-image-attach-parasite': 'gimp-comment' parasite validation failed: comment contains invalid UTF-8" message

[John100]

The David's Batch Processor used with GIMP from the default repository has shown the following "GIMP Message" on Ubuntu versions in the past few years:

"Execution error for procedure 'gimp-image-attach-parasite': 'gimp-comment' parasite validation failed: comment contains invalid UTF-8"

The "GIMP Message" window also shows "Message repeated ... times" (the number corresponds to the number of the processed images - each image increments the number upon its processing). That occurs on batch-resizing of images (other plugin functions are not being used).

Screenshots of the David's Batch Processor tabs used for image resizing and the resulting "GIMP Message" window can be seen in the attached ZIP archive.

Despite the above message, the resizing itself works fine.
