Lost EXIF data with 3.7.4

msergeant
I no longer seem to have my full exif data copied across to my output JPEGs with 3.7.4. I assumed this was just a problem with the RC, but it happens with the final release too.

Software: Capture One LE 3.7.4 2782
Platform: Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.6, Intel Core Duo
Camera: Nikon D70 (shooting RAW)
Output settings: JPEG HIGH

I love the new speed I get out of the Universal binary and don't want to have to go back to 3.7.3.

    Hi there!

    I have the same issue with the following setup:

    Software: Capture One LE 3.7.4 2782
    Platform: Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.6, 1.83MHz Intel Core Duo (MacBook Pro)
    Camera: Canon 20D (shooting RAW)
    Output settings: JPEG HIGH

    As before, no issues with 3.7.3, but with 3.7.4 all metadata is gone. Also when importing JPEGs into iPhoto 6, white lines appear across the bottom 1/4 of the picture in preview. This doesn't happen with files processed with 3.7.3.

    Cheers, Chris W.

    Well I'm seriously thinking of switching to bibble because of this. The current version is giving very good output from my RAW files, is a Universal binary so is nice and fast, and has built in rotation (the only thing I wish LE had that Pro has). All for about the same price as LE.

    I have confirmed with Tech Support that this is a bug and unfortunately there is no timeline on when it will be fixed. So I guess it is back to 3.7.3 for me. ☹️

    Yeah either that or script it (using the exiftool command line tool).

    I'm enjoying trying out bibble, but the user interface is awful compared to C1's (and I'm not a massive fan of C1's UI when you compare it to Aperture or iPhoto, but the results are so much better that I just can't bring myself to use either of those two).

    How would you do that - I need a tool to copy the EXIF information from the RAW/CR2 files to the JPEG files? Do you already have a prerolled script?

    After you install exiftool you can just do:

    exiftool -TagsFromFile src.crw dst.jpg

    And it will copy over all the exif data from the CRW to the JPG. You can script this to support all JPG files in a directory or something, but describing how to do that would be custom to your setup, so probably best to just learn some shell scripting or some perl or something to do that.

    I have created a perl script for my own use and throught I would post it here for anybody else who is interested. Essentially my files are all CR2's and the format of the filename is always <Description>_<OriginalName>.JPG


    #!/bin/sh

    # Two arguements are needed to proceed
    if [[ $# != 2 ]]; then
    echo "Usage: $0 files jpegfilesprefix" 1>&2
    exit 1
    fi

    # Make sure we have some raw files
    ls *.CR2 &> /dev/null

    if [[ $? != 0 ]]; then
    echo "No CR2 files were supplied" 1>&2
    exit 1
    fi

    for file in $1.CR2; do
    file2=`echo $file | sed -e 's/.CR2/.JPG/' | sed -e 's/^/'$2'/'`

    if [ -f $file2 ]; then
    exiftool -overwrite_original -TagsFromFile $file $file2
    else
    echo $file2 "not found. No tags copied."
    fi
    done


    This takes care of the EXIF info, but I still have an issue with iPhoto.

    Cheers, Chris W.

    Is there any update on this as this bug is forcing me to use alternative products in the meantime?

    Small tip: you can have the EXIF data exported if you choose Capture One 3.7.4 to \"Open Using Rosetta\" (i.e. run as a PPC application instead of an Intel application). This can be done from the Application's Get Info window in the Finder. So now I am doing my editing in Intel mode and then the export in PPC mode (which is very slow as you might imagine!).

    Any update? Getting tired of running a shell script to fix exif here...

    3.7.5 Capture One PRO for Mac has progressed from a Beta to a Beta II and likely ( meaning not For Sure ) will progress to a Beta III
    This is primarily due to the valuable feedback from Intel Mac users to Development team.

    Therefore, there is No Release Date or Timeframe for the Final 3.7.5 version

    Sincerely,
    k c

    We've decided to postpone the release of 3.7.5 to be sure to give users even greater benefits when released. We expect to release 3.7.5 in Mid-September.

    Best regards,

    Jan
