topic iconRealworld Paint.com - does not save EXIF metadata

There is a quick fix link in one of Vlastas Posts...

First i'd like to thank you for Realworld Paint.com, it's a terrific application.

I tried to open some jpg files that have EXIF info in them.
I then made some changes to the jpg files and tried to save them, but the resulting jpg files no longer contain the original EXIF info, such as the Camera Model.

I did select "Save unchanged" for the "medata" option.

Thanks for reporting it. It is a bug and it has been fixed few days ago, but the installer is not yet updated. Please download a quick fix here.

Hi Vlasta,

thanks for fast reply, i've just download the dll file, but it did not work. I compared the old dll file with the new one and they seem to be the same, both version 9.1.4.8 and of the same size.

Are you sure you uploaded the correct fix?

Are you sure it does not work with the updated file? Same version and size is OK, it was a very small change.

Could you please re-check it and verify that the saving parameters are set correctly (save unchanged metadata) (the updating is not supported, because an EXIF parser is not installed with Paint.

I checked it again, in the save as dialog i explicitely selected "Metadata" and then selected "Save unchanged", then changed the name of the jpg file and clicked on OK.
Still the EXIF data was no longer present in the resulting jpg file.

If you want to, i can send you the jpg file.

OK, I'd like to check that file (vlastimil.miler at gmail.com), maybe there is yet another bug. I have also updated the installers, so downloading the package may help.

i've now downloaded the latest installer, de-installed Realworld paint.com and then installed it again using the latest installer and now it works!

Thanks so much for your support.

Hi, I have the same issue with RealWorld Photos. When I save the file, the IPTC data is no longer there.

I cannot replicate the problem with RWPhotos, but downloading and using the fix for RWPaint from the link above could help you.
