Title: Get a huge file when writing some tags on it
Post by: jgautier on December 27, 2017, 07:24:16 AM

hi,

I have a problem with one image file.

When I try to write a tag on it, I've got a very very big file (several Gb) that grows and grows again....

Here's the command i try (on linux) :
exiftool -Keywords+=word -o hidef_updated_test/HL_ABRUY_BEHIND_046728.jpg hidef_tomod_test/HL_ABRUY_BEHIND_046728.jpg

The file can be downloaded here :

I can't understand why...

Thanks a lot for your answer.

Wow. I can replicate this problem with the sample you provided.

I will track this down and fix it as soon as possible.

Thanks for the bug report and sample image. I'll post back here when I discover the reason.

I was wondering what was wrong because I wasn't seeing it. But then I check my version (10.68), upgraded and now I see it. So whatever the error is, it's recent.

Yes, thanks StarGeek. This bug was introduced in 10.69 when I added the ability to write a 0-length JPEG comment.

I've fixed this and released 10.70 which should solve the problem.

Thanks again for the bug report!
