[PhotoFloat] Exif Errors

[Dennis Ortsen]

It’s not the exact same message I got,

I copied Tom Talpey’s code in a file and named it correct_date.patch. I placed that file in PhotoFloat’s root folder. In my case that’s /var/www/photofloat. Then, from that directory, I ran:

patch -p1 < correct_date.patch

and ran the scanner again. That fixed my problem. Hopefully it’ll also fix yours.

One last thing, keep in mind to keep conversations like these on the photofloat list. I’ve included it’s address in the e-mail so it’ll get archived for others to be of use as well :-)

Please let the list know if this fixed your issue.

For instance: I discovered that my parents have been taking pictures with some Nikon pocket camera without ever setting date and time on that device. When I started using PhotoFloat a few month’s ago, it failed to create the first albums because dates in exif were all zeros. PhotoFloat failed on that. Tom Tally’s patch fixed that for me. Don’t know about your issue though, it’s worth the try.
