Hi,

New to piwigo, and really enjoy it so far. Lots of good information in the forums.

I've added the following to my local/config/config.inc.php

$conf['use_exif_mapping'] = array(
  'date_creation'        => 'DateTimeOriginal',
  'comment'              => 'UserComment',
  );

and this does bring over the EXIF UserComment and stores it in the database.

The odd part is that if my comment is "My Comment", what is entered into the database (and displayed below the photo) is "ASCIIMy Comment".

I've looked my photo using ExifToolGUI, and the UserComment field is "My Comment" without the extra word ASCII.

Photos without any UserComment show nothing - no entry in the database and no comment displayed under the photo - just as it should be (i.e. no extra word ASCII).

Any suggestions on what is happening, and how to change this so "ASCII" doesn't transfer into the comment?

Thanks,
Hugh.
