Re: IPTC data

It looks like the non-ASCII characters are encoded in UTF-8 in the resulting XML file, which makes sense because if I'm not wrong UTF-8 encoding is the deafault for XML files if a

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

line is missing.

The code section that prints keywords in Image::IPTCInfo does not seem to do any sort of conversion on the keywords it handles, so I can only conclude that those keywords were entered already encoded in UTF-8 (which is good) and you're viewing the exported XML file in an environment which does not understand UTF-8.

It is undoubtedly an encoding but it is really does not look like UTF-8 ä is 0xC3 0xA4 in UTF-8 and I cant see an obvious way to get 0x7E and 0x0A from that. Here is an encoding table for chars 128-255 in a number of different encodings. Read more... (655 Bytes)	[reply] [d/l]
