At the moment, decision of what to do is left to the calling application, pyexiv2 doesn't apply any processing to string containing Null bytes. I'm open to re-considering this behaviour though, provided we have clear use-cases which would benefit from it. Do you have examples of images with Exif values containing null bytes, and do you know the reason for such values? > Damon Cheers, Olivier _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~pyexiv2-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~pyexiv2-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
