Hi again,

I tried to delete GPS information using the command line, instead of using Geosetter (using the same computer). The file isn't updated either, but there's a more significant error message:

exiftool.exe -overwrite_original -gpsLatitude= -GPSLongitude= -GPSVersionID= "D:\P1182353.JPG"
Warning: [minor] Entries in IFD0 were out of sequence. Fixed. - D:/P1182353.JPG
Error: Bad format (0) for IFD0 entry 0 - D:/P1182353.JPG
    0 image files updated
    1 files weren't updated due to errors


I uploaded the orginal file here: http://www.go-mango.de/temp/P1182353.zip

Cheers

The GetMarkerPointers problem sounds like a bad ExifTool installation.  You should delete this version and the temporary files (see here), then re-install.

The IFD0 error in your file is significant, and indicates corrupted metadata.  See FAQ 20 for help here.

Hi,

the GetMarkerPointers problem occurs only when calling Exiftool from Geosetter with option "ignore minor errors".

So I need to check my workflow. Usually I download pictures with Breezesys Downloader, which rotates jpegs and writes coordinates into them. After that, I backup all exif data, process some pictures with photoshop and restore all exif data.

Hi Andreas,

Ah, yes.  I can reproduce the GetMarkerPointers error for this image with the -m option.  I'll fix this in the next release -- ExifTool should not give runtime errors like this.
