Problem Description:

When reading IPTC information from a jpg, if a IPTC field has more than one value, the information provided by ImageGetIPTCMetadata and ImageGetIPTCTag has a whitespace as separator instead of a comma, making different values indistinguible from values that contains whitespaces.

Steps to Reproduce:

Assuming that myImageFile is a jpg file with IPTC metada, one of which fields is "Keywords", with the values "landscape,blue,sky,new england".

<cfset myImage=imageRead(myImageFile)> 
<cfset IPTC=ImageGetIPTCMetadata(myImage)>
<cfdump var="#IPTC#">

Actual Result:

landscape blue sky new england

Expected Result:

landscape,blue,sky,new england

Thanks for your reply. I've attached a sample image. The following code on ColdFusion 10: <cfset myImage=imageRead("FO004040504.jpg")> <cfset IPTC=ImageGetIPTCMetadata(myImage)> <cfdump var="#IPTC.Keywords#"> Returns "barrio fernando ojeda foto horizontal gran canaria las palmas de gran canaria schamann vista a?rea vivienda" Same image, with software like exifTool (http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/), also using ColdFusion: <cfset variables.exifTool = "C:\windows\exiftool.exe"> <cfexecute name="#variables.exifTool#" arguments="-KEYWORDS c:\test\FO004040504.jpg" timeout="30" variable="local.exifToolResult" /> <cfdump var="#local.exifToolResult#"> Returns "barrio, fernando ojeda, foto horizontal, gran canaria, las palmas de gran canaria, schamann, vista aérea, vivienda"

Upgrading the metadata library to 2.8.1. The new library is using ; as seperator when multiple values are present in the metadata tag.

Hi Preethi, Another issue.. Looks like ImageGetIPTCMetadata() is broken in CF11 Update 5, as the following returns an empty struct (using image attached to this ticket): writeDump(imageGetIPTCMetadata(imageRead("FO004040504.jpg"))) Thanks!, -Aaron

Verified this is fixed in CF2016 Update 1 (build 2016.0.01.298513). Multiple values are delimited by semicolon (;). Thanks!, -Aaron
