Bug Description

exiftran should not be changing any exif data except the orientation tag and /or thumbnail, and probably image height / width. However the output file's exif data is being changed in unexpected ways, being filled with corrupt values.

Here is a diff of the before and after of the exif values of this file after the command exivtran -i -9 on this file:

The proper values are those with the correct lens information.

Version is 2.07-10build1 on up-to-date raring.

Hello Damon,

This bug is resolved un fbi 2.08, as mentionned in this thread:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=672913#10

No version of Ubuntu is using the latest version of the fbi Debian package (2.09). I know little about versions policy of Ubuntu, so I can not tell you when this bug will be fixed for you.

Luke, do you have any idea?

Regards,
