I have been a relatively happy PI 10 user for a couple of years but, all of a sudden, it has started wiping out my camera's EXIF data whenever I do any editing of a picture! The camera in question is a Nikon D70 and everything was hunky dory until a couple of weeks ago. I am using XP Home edition SP2.
My eTrust AV can't find any virus anywhere
Has anyone any idea what might have caused this change?
Could it be a dodgy Windows Update/Patch ... I did notice a recent small change in the logon screen at about the same time!
Anyway ... is there a cure?
It is not so much a matter of where I view it .. the issue is that PI now REMOVES EXIF data when I use it to edit ANY picture. It used to keep the data OK .. and I have edited hundreds of pictures without losing any EXIF data up until a couple of weeks ago.
For the record : with PI, I am viewing it on the EXIF sidebar of the browser panel. (I used to find it also, for individual images, under
File - Image Properties - File Info.
But now PI does not show EXIF data for ANY individual pics, even if it still there, and is still viewable in the sidebar of the browser!)
Also. with PEX 8.5, I can view EXIF data under
File - Photo Properties -
or under
File - image Properties - Camera Info
and this works whether I am in browser mode or on individual images.
But no matter where/how I try to view EXIF data on any image recently edited with PI, there is none to see!
For the record, I have uninstalled PI 10 & reinstalled it, but it made no difference. (there was something odd about this process .. after uninstalling, I deleted the PI directory & restarted .. but it still let me reinstall the "upgrade" version without having some previous version on the machine .. and it remembered my serial number; so clearly not all remnants of the original were removed; ! .. oh the joys of using Windows)
So I return to my original query .. why is PI suddenly removing EXIF data from any image it edits?
BTW; neither GIMP not Photoshop has this problem.
