How can I see PNG metadata?

I've tried all XMP fields for Screenshot.png file from:

http://fenixproductions.pl/files/tc/png_desc.zip

and no results

P.S. Archive contains additional TXT file with InfoMagic info about my image. Description field is what matters here.

This is was exiv2 0.22 reports on your file

Code: Select all

C:\temp>exiv2.exe -v -pa C:\temp\Screenshot.png
File 1/1: C:\temp\Screenshot.png
C:\temp\Screenshot.png: No Exif data found in the file
C:\temp\Screenshot.png: No IPTC data found in the file
C:\temp\Screenshot.png: No XMP data found in the file

I will forward this to the exiv2 developers if you think that ImageMagick sets the correct XMP desc field.

This field had been set by ScreenshotCaptor (via ImageEn library) and I was wondering why I cannot see it in other applications (including JPG-comments). That is why I attached ImageMagic details.

Either way: IM shows it, XnView too... JPG-comments - does not. I would be grateful if you could do something with this.

I found the problem in the Exiv2 library and reported it (with a fix) to the developer. Please download and test the fixed version 2.3.1.1 of the plugin: wdx-jpg-comment_2.3.1.1.zip.

P.S. The font on your home page is almonst unreadable with Firefox 3.6.

Works great now. Thank you.

Could you drop a screenshot somewhere* or mail it to me to fenixproductions on domain o2.pl?

Or is it Helvetica usage issue?

Consider name for plugin: ImageMetaInfo

[tbeu]

I may think of it. For historical reasons I sticked with current name.

tbeu wants to rename the plugin as "ImageMetaData" so I changed the thread name from "content plugin: JPG-comments, EXIF- and IPTC-metadata" to "content plugin: ImageMetaData".

2tbeu, can you please skip this message for invalid jpg files?

Code: Select all

---------------------------
D:\temp\exif\invalid.jpg
---------------------------
D:\temp\exif\invalid.jpg: The file contains data of an unknown image type
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

Thanks.

Is it just this one error message or any other, too?

I have a problem only with that one. But I'd turn off all of these message-boxed errors because they are too irritating. Alternatively you may redirect them to some kind of error.log textfile.
