Bug in XML from Image::ExifTool::TagInfoXML::Write

[Wernfried]

Hi Phil

I just discovered a bug in Image::ExifTool::TagInfoXML::Write method. I used

Code Select Expand


Image::ExifTool::TagInfoXML::Write('c:/Temp/dst.xml', undef, Lang => 'de');


XML file is generated, however it is not well-formed, at some (not all) tags, the closing ">" is missing.

Code Select Expand


<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!-- Generated by Image::ExifTool 10.40 -->
<taginfo>

<table name='AFCP::Main' g0='AFCP' g1='AFCP' g2='Other'>
<desc lang='en'>AFCP</desc>
<tag id='Nail' name='ThumbnailImage' type='?' writable='false' g2='Preview' --> ">" is missing
  <desc lang='de'>Miniaturbild</desc>
</tag>
<tag id='PrVw' name='PreviewImage' type='?' writable='false' g2='Preview'
  <desc lang='de'>Vorschaubild</desc>
</tag>
<tag id='TEXT' name='Text' type='?' writable='false'> --> here it is fine
  <desc lang='en'>Text</desc>
</tag>
</table>

...



Please review.
