exif loss

Hi list,

I have gimp 2.6 and ufraw installed on a windows 2000 sp4 machine.

Whenever I try to convert a dng file (the pentax raw file format) my exif data gets completely lost.

If I send the image from ufraw to gimp, and then save it, I get no error message at all;
if I save it directly from ufraw, I I get an error message saying: "exif buffer length 79514, too long, ignored" .

Does anybody know if there 's a sollution to this?

Is there a work-around? Can I copy my exif data back into the jpg image in an easy way?

thanks,

Andrew

A possible workaround would be to copy the exif data from the original .dng to the converted file using exiftool.
