Public bug reported: jhead is a great tool which I've been using for more than 10 years.
Unfortunately "jhead -cmd" doesn't work as expected/documented any more and loses all Exif infos. Example: $ jhead 1.jpg File name : 1.jpg File size : 1379585 bytes File date : 2012:08:22 15:12:15 Camera make : Canon Camera model : Canon PowerShot S100 Date/Time : 2012:08:18 11:49:53 Resolution : 4000 x 3000 Flash used : No ... $ jhead -cmd "jpegtran -progressive &i > &o" 1.jpg Cmd:jpegtran -progressive "1.jpg" > "nK8WPo" Modified: 1.jpg $ jhead 1.jpg File name : 1.jpg File size : 1293582 bytes File date : 2012:08:22 15:14:13 Resolution : 4000 x 3000 Jpeg process : Progressive This is a severe bug because I've lost the exif info on many of my fotos. :-( Thanks, Andy. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS Release: 12.04 $ apt-cache policy jhead jhead: Installed: 1:2.93-1 Candidate: 1:2.93-1 Version table: *** 1:2.93-1 0 500 http://ubuntu.bio.lmu.de/ubuntu/ precise/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: jhead 1:2.93-1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-26.41-generic 3.2.19 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-26-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu12 Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed Aug 22 15:07:55 2012 ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm SHELL=/bin/zsh PATH=(custom, user) LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=de_DE.UTF-8 SourcePackage: jhead UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-06-22 (60 days ago) ** Affects: jhead (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug precise -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1040058 Title: ugly bug: option "-cmd" loses Exif section To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jhead/+bug/1040058/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
