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.

Is it possible to use IPTC comment instead? My software seems to use that anyway.

Thanks for the suggestion, however I don't have IPTC data in my images.
from …/tools/metadata.php, I get the following:
Informations are read from sample.jpg
no IPTC information
EXIF Fields in sample.jpg

[FileName] => sample.jpg

I recommend to submit a bug ticket here:

Make sure to include all relavant information, including your graphics library (tools->maintenance), a sample image, screenshots, your localconfig etc.
