Photofusion and photos with Existing Exif
« on: June 13, 2010, 01:18:37 PM »
Is it at all possible to add Photos to a GPX file in Topofusion by using photos that already have a EXIF geotag? I cant find any info on this.

I have a batch of photos that are geotagged that I want to attach to a GPX file ..... the original GPX file they were attached to with Photofusion was lost.

I think I got part of it under control. I could not get photos to add to a certain (corrupt???) GPX file without a topofusion error but when I tried adding the photos to a different GPX that was several years older it added them by using the exif data.  I'm not sure why it wouldn't add them to the other one.

I still can't get geotagged photos to add to a brand new blank GPX file with Photofusion.

Right, it will read EXIF positions and place based on those.  Interesting that you couldn't get it to go with a blank GPX.  I'll give it a try.

I was able to add photos to a blank GPX.  However, you may be getting a bug that is in the latest version right now.  It is fixed in the beta if you want to move to that.

Actually, you can avoid the bug simply by assigning a "HTML destination" directory at the bottom of the PhotoFusion form.  As long as that isn't blank, it won't give you the error / crash.  Sorry about that issue, it was introduced inadvertently in the last update.
