Hallo
I have just installed 1.5.12 and is testing it (am still using 1.4.x, until 1.5.12 works properly for my needs) and unfortunately have run into some UTF-8, special danish character problems. The problem isn't only in 1.5, but also 1.4. It actually started when Adobe Lightroom was upgraded from 3.3 to 3.4. Now I know this is not a support forum for LR, but after several discussion on Adobe Forum I will also try here.
The problem occurs when exporting images from LR and then adding them to Coppermine. In LR 3.3 there was no problem, but now in LR 3.4 the danish characters øæå is not translated correctly... I get this
FC Nordsjælland mod Randers FC
FC Nordsjælland mod Randers FC i Farum Park. Resultat 2-1. Mål af ....
I started out thinking that is it LR that have a problem. But according to Adobe in the new version of LR, they say...
"I think what you're seeing is by design. Lightroom is now following the Metadata Working Group guidelines for IPTC character set encoding, which requires always using UTF-8 character set encoding. This allows files to be exchanged correctly between systems that use different local character set encodings."
I tried to explain that Coppermine was indeed using UTF-8. Then I was directed to this....
Have a look at your image using Jeffrey's Exif Viewer (a WebInterface to ExifTool) and check the content there.
And at Jeffreys my data is correct... coming from LR....
So now I really don't know where to start....
Can anyone help on this issue?
