Comment 1 Roger Noble 2021-11-03 16:52:59 UTC
Sorry typo, the version of digkam was 7.2.0. I've built Digikam 7.3.0 on Fedora 35 and it has the same problem.

Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2021-11-03 17:52:14 UTC
Possible this is an exiv2 issue too (per the error message).  Mind reporting this upstream to bugs.kde.org ?

Unfortunately exiv2-0.27.5 didn't fix the problem. Thanks for trying though.
