A little correction: Apparently GeoSetter adds this "Coded Character Set : UTF8" info (which solves the problem) when the file gets saved second time. I.e, on first save GeoSetter inserts a new ITPC block without specifying character set. On second save it adds the character set info. |

UNfortunately I can not reproduce the problem: 1. I imported a CR2 image file into LR converting it to DNG 2. I changed state/province to "Île-de-France" in LR 3. After opening it in GeoSetter, assigning a coordinate and saving I get the following save report: Saved (0,98s): R:\Test\DNG-Test\2010-12-26-222250.dng Params: C:\Users\fri\AppData\Roaming\GeoSetter\tools\exiftool.exe -@ "C:\Users\fri\AppData\Local\Temp\et00454154.arg" "R:\Test\DNG-Test\2010-12-26-222250.dng" Arguments: -overwrite_original -EXIF:GPSLatitude=54.86892706 -EXIF:GPSLongitude=9.40554142 -EXIF:GPSLatitudeRef=N -EXIF:GPSLongitudeRef=E -EXIF:GPSMapDatum=WGS-84 -EXIF:GPSVersionID=2.2.0.0 -EXIF:GPSAltitude=40.000000 -EXIF:GPSAltitudeRef=Above Sea Level -EXIF:GPSDateStamp=2010:12:26 -EXIF:GPSTimeStamp=21:22:50 -XMP:GPSLatitude=54.86892706 -XMP:GPSLongitude=9.40554142 -XMP:GPSVersionID=2.2.0.0 -XMP:GPSMapDatum=WGS-84 -XMP:GPSAltitude=40.000000 -XMP:GPSAltitudeRef=Above Sea Level -XMP:GPSDateTime=2010-12-26T21:22:50Z -XMP:Creator=Friedemann Schmidt -IPTC:CodedCharacterSet=UTF8 -IPTC:By-Line=Friedemann Schmidt -XMP:AuthorsPosition= -XMP:CountryCode= -XMP:Country= -XMP:State=ÃŽle-de-France -IPTC:Province-State=ÃŽle-de-France -XMP:City= -XMP:Location= -XMP:Artist= -XMP:Description= -XMP:Instructions= -XMP:Title= -XMP:Headline= -XMP:Credit= -XMP:Rights=Friedemann Schmidt -IPTC:CopyrightNotice=Friedemann Schmidt -XMP:CaptionWriter= -XMP:Source= -XMP:Category= -xmp:rating= -xmp:ratingpercent= -XMP:Label= -XMP:CreatorAddress= -XMP:CreatorPostalCode= -XMP:CreatorCity= -XMP:CreatorRegion= -XMP:CreatorCountry= -XMP:CreatorWorkTelephone= -XMP:CreatorWorkEmail= -XMP:CreatorWorkURL= It contains IPTC:CodedCharacterSet=UTF8 and after saving the DNG also contains this flag. Is this problem still reproducable for you? Can you perhaps try it out with the beta version http://www.geosetter.de/geosetter_beta.exe ? This version is nearly finished and will be released soon... |

I actually still can repro this problem. However it seems to me that GeoSetter's behavior (even of the latest beta) is not predictable in respect to this IPTC:CodedCharacterSet flag. Sometimes GeoSetter indeed sets this flag, sometimes it does not and I was not able to figure out what affects its behavior. Please try the following: Initial steps: 1. Import a cr2 photo to Lightroom converting it to dng. 2. Select a photo and save metadata by using menu "Metadata"->"Save Metadata to File". 3. Start GeoSetter and assign some geo info to the photo. I would suggest to use lattitude 43.69702167 and longtitude 7.27042258. This should resolve to the province "Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur". 4. Save changes in GeoSetter and terminate it. 5. In Lightroom re-read metadata by "Metadata"->"Read Metadata from File". Most likely the State/Province field there will look fine. Repeat the following steps: 6. In Lightroom select a photo and save metadata by using menu "Metadata"->"Save Metadata to File". 7. Please confirm that there is no IPTC character set is set on this photo, this is critical! On Windows platform I do this by running "exiftool -a -u -g1 photo.dng |findstr /i Character". It should not report anything. If it does, then probably your settings in Lightroom do not match mine and I will need to investigate more. 8. Now start GeoSetter, locate the photo and slightly move photo's position marker. Select "Move Image" in the "Changed Position" dialog box. 9. Save changes and terminate GeoSetter. 10. Again check that there is no IPTC character set is in metadata by running "exiftool -a -u -g1 photo.dng |findstr /i Character". At this moment sometimes exiftool shows UTF-8 character set, sometimes does not. If you see UTF-8 here, go to step 6 and try again. It took maximum 2-3 retries for me to repro the problem. 11. If you do not see IPTC character set, switch to Lightroom and re-read photo's metadata by selecting the photo and doing "Metadata"->"Read Metadata from File". Now you should see that the State/Province field in Lightroom gets corrupted (the funny French "O with hat" will be changed to something else. Again, if you do not see the repro, please re-try starting from the step 6 few times. Hope this will help. |

I really hope I fixed this now. Please take a look at the attached screen shot "set_iptc_creation_date_from_taken_date.jpg". Do you perhaps have this option activated? In my situation the IPTC creation date forces the UTF8 flag to be removed when the IPTC creation date will be saved among others... There's a new beta 3.3.103 with which you shouldn't get the problem anymore - I hope. It's available at http://www.geosetter.de/geosetter_beta.exe |

Sorry for re-opening this issue, I could not figure out how to leave a comment without doing so. I confirm that I indeed have this flag (set IPTC date from taken date) checkbox enabled. I also confirm that the most recent beta 3.3.103 build 2083 fixes the problem. Thanks a lot for fixing this issue, it was a real pain for me. |
