Writing XMP metadata to jp2 files erases all XMP metadata in file about exiv2

Any idea when 0.28.2 will be released? You fixed a pretty bad bug that corrupted files. I would think that it would be fast-tracked for release so it doesn't affect other people's jp2 files.

In the meantime, you can ask your favorite distro exiv2 package maintainer to include the relevant patch.

The last version that I can confirm this working is v0.27.6.

[henryborchers]

Can anybody else confirm this?

[kmilos]

Think I might have found why. Can you please test #2890?

[henryborchers]

@kmilos this looks like it fixes it.

After updating to 0.28 I got a lot of errors with image processing on jp2 files and I thought I was taking crazy pills.

Nice job on getting this fixed.

Thanks for catching this and testing!

@kmilos Of course! Exiv2 is one the greatest tool/friend to digital archivists. It's faster and more robust than any other alternative out there.

The information was right there in front of me the whole time. How embarrassing...

I actually build exiv2 from source so I can patch it myself. Good idea. Thanks!

The fix is already committed to the 0.28.x branch as well.
