Adding Artist-Tag

Hi,

i tried to add the Artist tag but run into some problems. The first problem is, after opening of the "New Exif tag" window, there is no Tag ID for the type "Artist", the field is empty. If i just enter the value and click "Add" i got the message "incorrect format ...". Clicking once on "hex" will solve the problem.

But when i try to "Commit change(s)" i always got an error message:

ExifEditor log, 1/16/2008 7:21 PM

C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\klaus\Desktop\Temp\Ettlinger Tor Ost_backup_20080116184754.JPG
Create a new tag Artist (#315) with value Klaus Nahr, OK
Save change(s), A generic error occurred in GDI+.

Best regards

I maybe found the solution. The EXIF type for "Artist" is wrong. Its not "0 UNKNOWN TYPE!". It should be "2 ASCII".

Hello,

you are absolute right, Artist tag should be ASCII type. I perform simple test with latest EXIFeditor (2.0.2809.37966) now: open some JPEG photo, select Artist from dropdown list and see ASCII type in status bar. This is OK.

But unfortunately there is bug in "add a new tag" function, Artist tag has assigned unknown type 0. I correct this bug in a new version. Thanks for info.

Hello Klaus,

I built a new version of EXIFeditor now (2.0.2944.24643), please, check your mailbox, I sent it. You can try it.
