Fixing the Model field

[Dairygoat]

When fixing the Model field name I get this message:

0 image files updated
    1 files weren't updated due to errors
Warning: [minor] Entries in IFD0 were out of sequence. Fixed. - ./20110501731c0001ffd800000160604211018010424.jpg
Error: Bad ExifIFD offset for Exif_0x0000 - ./20110501731c0001ffd800000160604211018010424.jpg

How can I fix this? So that I can change the Model field?

Hi,

I assume some other software destroyed metadata in this (looong name) jpg file. Hard to say, how to fix this... what I would try is:
1. select jpg and export metadata into MIE file (GUI menu Export/Import>Export metadata into>MIE files)
2. select jpg and delete all metadata in jpg file (GUI menu Modify>Remove metadata)
3. select jpg and import metadata from MIE file (GUI menu Export/Import>Import metadata from single file...)
and finally
4. select jpg and edit Model tag in jpg file.

Of course, make a backup of your original file first.

Also, for the command-line application, FAQ number 20 deals with this problem.
