Writing IPTC headers does not work with version 6.3.0

[wasu]

Hi,

I'm trying to write IPTC headers to JPEG images with ImageMagick. I succeeded to do so with ImageMagick version 6.0.6 11/15/06. However, on the server I'm using there is ImageMagick 6.3.0. 12/18/06 and with this newer version it does not work any more. Here is what I have done:

convert +profile 8BIM +comment -profile 8BIMTEXT:iptc.txt in.jpg out.jpg

My iptc.txt file has the following content:
8BIM#1028="IPTC"
2#55#Date Created="20050606"
2#105#Headline="My Image"
2#116#Copyright Notice="(c) wasu"
2#122#Writer="wasu"

When I'm running the command with version 6.0.6 it works fine (the command "identify -verbose out.jpg" shows the IPTC headers.) However when I'm using version 6.3.0 I get the following error (in german):

convert: magick/token.c:137: DestroyTokenInfo: Zusicherung »token_info->signature == 0xabacadabUL« nicht erfÌllt.
Abgebrochen

Ist this a bug of version 6.3.0 or must I do anything different with version 6.3.0?

Thanks for help,
Walter

We tried your command with the latest ImageMagick release, 6.3.2-4, and it worked as expected:

Thank you for trying.
I've also tried with your version, but the same error as described occurs (I use SUSE Linux 10.2).
I've also tested to write the iptc headers with exiftools, this works for me now.
Again thank you for your reply.

Regards

Perhaps the problem is specific to your image. Can you post a URL to your in.tif image so we can download and try to reproduce the error. Thanks.
