This bug report is quite sufficient for problem (2).

Hello Maik,

thanks for your reply.
It is really a good news that using Exiftool will solve the "Non standard
format" problem, which occurs in case of re-writing Exif-tags.

But I have an additional question: This bug 435414 discusses 2 things.
(1) how to solve problem of "Non standard format" 
(2) my request to enhance the dialog: Edit Metadata (see comment #3)

Shall I open another  bug-report (feature request) for a follow up of (2). And
this bug-report does follow up for (1)

Best regards
herb

A test here with an image from Nikon gives the same result when writing an Exif
user comment:

Now with digiKam-8.0.0 we already have the possibility to write back the
metadata EXV container using ExifTool:

exiftool -error -warning -validate -a -exif:all -g0:1 dsc_1075.jpg 
Validate: OK

Using ExifTool to write the metadata would also solve the problem...

Dear digiKam developers,

in meantime I started to work with digiKam 7.7.0 (snapshot 13.5.2022) on my
Windows 10 system.
As I wrote in 1st post:
---
Selecting an image e.g. in Albums-view and opening the Edit metadata dialog via
menu inside this dialog all existing values are checked (the corresponding
checkboxes are checked).
In case of an *.jpg image out of camera many technical Exif-values are checked.
In case of I want only to modify some XMP metadata I have to enter my values
and to press Apply.
But now all existing Exif metadata are re-written. 
In case I do not want that the existing Exif-metadata are re-written I have to
uncheck all checkboxes for Exif-tags.


I ask you to think again about my proposal.
I am convinced it would be a great feature of digiKam
- to write e.g. only (checked) XMP tags
- without UNchecking all Exif and IPTC-IIM tags.

For this feature I see to possibilities
(1) to have 3  additional buttons: uncheck all Exif / IPTC-IIM / XMP tags
(2) to have 3 checkboxes: write Exif / IPTC-IIM / XPM which affect the
behaviour of button Apply

Thanks in advance
Best regards
herb

Hello Maik,

thanks for your response.

I have an *.jpg image out of camera of my Olympus EM5iii.
With Edit Metadata... I added the Exif Description.
I did not change any other checkbox and after rewrite the metadata I get the
following output from command:

exiftool.exe -error -warning -validate -a -exif:all -g0:1 testimage.jpg

Warning : Non-standard format (int32s) for ExifIFD 0xa40a Sharpness

 EXIF:ExifIFD 
Exposure Time : 1/250



But discussing my proposal - without thinking about the problem described above
- it makes sense e.g. to avoid rewriting IPTC metadata-tags in case of only
modifying XMP values.

Can you give an example Exif Tag, where this 2 byte / 4 byte problem occurs. I
have never heard of it or seen a warning in the Exiftool output for images
whose metadata was written by Exiv2. In the Exif metadata standard there are
different byte lengths depending on the metadata type (short or long). I also
don't find a bug report on this problem on Exiv2.
