[jira] [Commented] (IMAGING-205) Imaging (Apache Sanselan) produces
"odd offsets" in (EXIF) metadata
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMAGING-205?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16278202#comment-16278202 ]
Bruno P. Kinoshita commented on IMAGING-205:
--------------------------------------------
Updating the check list.
[ X ] have a confirmation that the odd bytes is gone and the metadata and image are still valid/good/correct/etc
* Thanks for testing Joakim!
[ X ] have a better understand of the different between a TIFFOutputItem and TIFFOutputField. The latter has a method, writeField, that seems to be correctly handling offsets oddness.
* Will attach a screen shot of my notes. But basically, TiffOutputField uses TifOutputItem. The item contains the offset, length, value (another item), etc. And the output field has the bytes, field type, tag, count, etc. The field is properly writing TIFF data with the correct number of bytes. The item just holds that data, and its write method writes the bytes as is.
[ ] write a unit test
* Pending now. Just need to craft the example files for pass/fail tests.
[ X ] find the parts of the specification that define that behaviour, and add links to them here, in the unit test, and in the javadoc of the class where the fix is applied
* The library of the US congress holds some interesting archival information https://www.loc.gov/preservation/digital/formats/fdd/fdd000022.shtml, with links to many documents. I'm using this file https://www.itu.int/itudoc/itu-t/com16/tiff-fx/docs/tiff6.pdf. In the IFD and following sections it is possible to find text supporting the issue here. Page 21 for instance: "providing the offset was an even number greater than or equal to 8"
I'm intending to proceed with the change as is, provided with a unit test. Unless there's objection here or in the mailing list.

> I'm using the "last stable version" of Apache Sanselan 0.97 in an Android project (app). I have not upgraded to Commons Imaging yet, since the website says there is no stable release yet. Meanwhile, there are bugs in Sanselan.
> If I run the [sample code method WriteExifMetadataExample.changeExifMetadata|http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/sanselan/trunk/src/test/java/org/apache/sanselan/sampleUsage/WriteExifMetadataExample.java?p=820841] on an image, which updates the Apterture and GPS tags, the resulting image fails to validate (through Phil Harvey's [ExifTool software|https://sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/]):

> I need some advice on how to proceed here. Since Sanselan does not appear to do what it should (even on very basic metadata editing), am I correct to assume that the current version of Commons Imaging does a better job? :-)
