Python module to read/write EXIF data for images

pyexif's Issues

Warning: [minor] Entries in ExifIFD were out of sequence. Fixed

When using the setTag() function inside a for loop(multiple files in a directory), I am getting the following error: "Warning: [minor] Entries in ExifIFD were out of sequence. Fixed". And the for loop halts for a while like 2-3 mins and then continues. Is there a fix to this or am I doing something wrong? Please find my code snippet below:

cwd=os.getcwd()
for f in sorted(os.listdir(cwd)):
  try:
        image = Image.open(f)
        metadata = pyexif.ExifEditor(f)
        exif = json.loads(metadata.getTag('UserComment'))
        exif["header"]["device_id"]="m02-test"
        exif_str = json.dumps(exif)
        metadata.setTag('UserComment', exif_str)

PyPI version out of date

The code published on PyPI appears to be version 0.9 instead of version 1.0 even though it is listed as version 1.0. I'm guessing that an out of date clone was mispackaged for the most recent release. Also, PyPI does not have a description or a link to the repository.

Error in _runproc prevents it from overwriting Exif

This is the stacktrace:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/myuser/projects/album/main.py", line 23, in set_date
    metadata.setTag('DateTimeOriginal', datestamp)
  File "/Users/manuelo/projects/album/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pyexif/pyexif.py", line 246, in setTag
    out = _runproc(cmd, self.photo)
  File "/Users/manuelo/projects/album/venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pyexif/pyexif.py", line 32, in _runproc
    if (err.startswith("Warning: Bad ExifIFD directory")
TypeError: startswith first arg must be bytes or a tuple of bytes, not str

The actual error reads something like
b'Warning: [minor] Ignored empty rdf:Bag list for Iptc4xmpExt:LocationCreated - picture.jpg\n'

setTag fails when getTag show that the tag exists

Expect the ability to overwrite a tag. However, when I try to write to the tag, exiftool returns the tag isn't available.

pyexif_img = pyexif.ExifEditor(photo=img_fname, save_backup=True)
pyexif_img.getTag('RigName')

Out[47]: 'SlantRange-3P'

In [49]: pyexif_img.setTag('RigName', 'Altum')
Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<ipython-input-49-6d449a342efc>", line 1, in <module>
    pyexif_img.setTag('RigName', 'Altum')

  File "Python Scripts\convert_sr\pyexif\pyexif\__init__.py", line 265, in setTag
    out = _runproc(cmd, self.photo)

  File "Python Scripts\convert_sr\pyexif\pyexif\__init__.py", line 50, in _runproc
    raise RuntimeError(err)

RuntimeError: b"Warning: Tag 'RigName' is not defined\r\nNothing to do.\r\n"

Cannot find exif tool

Hello I hope you are well, I am having trouble understanding which directory pyexif looks inside. I am using windows 10 and have tried placing the file in C:/Windows, in the Library/bin for conda and then the C:/Users/me. Where is it supposed to be so that pyexif can find it?

Regards,
Oscar

RuntimeError

I get a RuntimeError: Warning: [minor] Fixed incorrect URI for xmlns:MicrosoftPhoto on some of my photos. _runproc raises on all "errors". Would it be possible to ignore all "Warnings" (as it is only a warning and no error)?
