Hi, It seems the Exif module get only the first 50 chars of the caption to put it in the description of the photo. Is it a known problem ? With the attached photo, I get "Adolphe est le fils de Adolphe Boissonneault et Ph" instead of "Adolphe est le fils de Adolphe Boissonneault et Phébée Gaudreault". Thanks. Yves Bergeron

Hi,
It's not really the first 50 chars. Instead, Exif stops getting the caption at the first accented letter.

There is a 2000 character limit:

A picture is worth
1,000 words2k characters!What editor are you using to add the caption?
please do more testing with the accented letters and submit a ticket if need be.
We use a 3rd party library for EXIF data.

Sometimes, I use the properties dialog from Windows Vista. I also use XnView.
I'll submit a ticket.

I think that Windows seem to modify/add new data called XMP. Until there is a open source library for that it will not get added to Gallery.

I developed a script with exiftool wich copy the XMP content in IPTC at will. In the photo I submitted in my first post, the caption is in IPTC.
