Technical details

<p>I used to be able to see technical details on unaltered photos I would post to this site. As of a couple days ago I notice that field is not appearing. What is the story here? example of what I used to see in the Details tab right after the Custom Fields. Was this feature removed? Has anyone else noticed this?</p>

<p>Works fine for me. I just uploaded an image and the Technical Details page was fine. Are your <strong><em>certain</em></strong> that the images you are uploading contain EXIF information? Have you looked at them with an EXIF viewer or editing software that shows the EXIF info?</p>

<p>

I did notice that the EXIF data seems to have been stripped out of the displayed images - ut if was recorded in the Technical Details before being stripped out when photo.net downsized the full image<p>

<p>

<b>Update</b> - All is well if you use the bulk uploader - however the singe file uploader does appear to ignore EXIF data. I don't know if it's always been this way or not. Both seen to strip the EXIF data form the uploaded image, even if the image uploaded doesn't have to be downsized.

<p>

So the "solution" is to always use the bulk uploader if you want EXIF data to be decorded</p>

<p><strong>Update #2 - </strong> I contacted Jin and he took a look at the single file uploader. It should now be working and your Technical Data should be visible no matter which uploader you use.<br>

<strong> </strong><br>

<p>Thanks Bob, its working now<br>

FYI in all my 10 years here, I have only used the single file uploader not the Bulk Uploader and the EXIF upload has always worked.</p>

<p>I guess it developed a fault, or some change to the system (libraries?) caused a problem with reading the EXIF data. Luckily Jin is a wizard with these things and spotted the problem. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!</p>
