EOG can't read XMP tags created with F-SPOT

[antistress]

Binary package hint: eog

With Ubuntu 7.10 beta, Eye of GNOME 2.20 doesn't display tags created with F-SPOT (with the option "tag in pictures" activated)

It's seems to be a bug since :
F-Spot is supposed to create XMP tags
EOG 2.20 is supposed to display XMP tags

Thanks you for your report, may you please add a XMP image to the report for testing purposes? thanks in advance.

i've added "vacances" and "Saint-tropez" as keyword to that picture in F-Spot

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

That's likely because eog is built without the xmp option in Ubuntu, it requires exempi which seems to not be available yet

with ubuntu hardy alpha 4 i get a lot of information in EoG now but still not the keywords added with F-Spot.
See the results in the picture attach showing the photo above loaded in both F-Spot and EoG.
You can see 'Vacances' and 'Saint-Tropez' in F-Spot but not in EoG

Just a comment to antistress

I'm testing from the latest hardy livecd. And your keyword does not show up.

It looks like your image contains this in the xmp.Subject field.
$ exiftool -xmp:all DSC_0407-2.JPG
Subject : vacances, Saint-Tropez

If I copy the tags from this image to a copy of the same image with
exiftool -tagsfromfile DSC_0407-2.JPG DSC_0407-2-copy.JPG
they are visible in eog under the Keyword tag.

If I just write the same tags like this
 exiftool -xmp:Subject="vacances, Saint-Tropez" DSC_0407-2.JPG
They are also visible in eog.

So maybe this is a F-Spot bug?

I played a little more with dumpmainxmp from exempi.

I have added the dumps as attachment. The one named tagsfromfile.txt is from the above tagsfromfile command and the other named write is from the above write command.

since i don't know whether F-Spot or EoG is the "guilty" one, i've just asked to f-spot-list http://mail.gnome.org/archives/f-spot-list/index.html

[Hubert Figuiere (hub)]

what about attaching the sample file?

[Hubert Figuiere (hub)]

I missed the file was given above. Forget my last question.

I checked the file with Exempi and the information is all there.

With Hardy beta, Nautilus displays "vacances, Saint-Tropez" keywords while right clicking on the file (Image tab),
therefore i guess it is an EOG bug

EoG can't read XMP tags created with F-SPOT whereas Nautilus can
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=526331

-> According to EoG developer, that seems to be a F-Spot bug but EoG has been fixed to deal with it

Therefore it only remains the F-Spot bug to fix before closing this bug report :
XMP data packets have wrong 'id' attribute in F-Spot

according to Stephane Delcroix, F-Spot bug is fixed
