The site Kent.dl.sourceforge.net/project/geotag/0.103/geotag-0.103.jar seems to be down since executing javaws geotag.jnlp gives a not found error Has this moved somewhere?
Hello, I've already been using GeoTag for several years and sometimes I see such phenomenon: I correct the GPS information of a certain image using a map open in the browser and Google Earth, then save the result in GeoTag and delete this image from it, and also close the corresponding map in the browser. Google Earth remains open. If I open this image again in GeoTag and on the map, sometimes it turns out that the coordinates have changed compared to the saved ones. Does anyone know why this could...
Provide sorting of columns
That's it. Working now. Thank you very much
The problem is that Geotag specifies the GPSLongitudeReffirst and then the GPSLongitude. It seems that Exiftool 12.45 misinterprets the longitude when specified in this order. The good news is that with Exiftool 12.62 this problem no longer occurs.

Thanks for answering. Attached picture and logfile. This happens only on this particular machine (WIN10). The behaviour is not reproducable on other machines (WIN or Linux).
@gueba/John Davies Never encountered such a behavior. But if you want to publish a sample file where it happened and the geotag.log log file (you find it in the temp directory), I could check it.
Hi John, my son experiences the same behaviour. Did you find an explanation / solution?
Hi, I like the Geotag interface but I'm having a problem saving coordinates. If I enter a negative coordinate, it is saved as a positive. Then my geotaggs are East and not West. Any ideas hoe to fix?
I have - unfortunately - the same error. I have tried the last tip described, without success. Still the same error. I used the program for the last time about half a year ago, without problems. Does anyone here still have an idea how to solve the problem? Thanks for help
Removing Java Development Kit resolved the issue.
This feature suddenly stopped working. I'm not sure why this happened, I tried reinstalling everything but still same error. There is something wrong with the web server apparently but im unable to fix it.
Fix for Saving Issues under Windows
Thank you so much for the detailed explanation of the technical dependencies and for providing a potential patch. It seems, that your assumption, that the issue might be related to creation of multiple ExifTool processes was absolutely correct. I did a quick test with a small amount of files and for me the patch you've provided really resolved the issue with saving multiple pictures at once! Great! Please see attached screen shots as reference.
You didn't save any files when the log file was created. So the log doesn't show what happens when saving. But anyways, I think it's an issue with ExifTool. ExifTool behaves quite strangely under Windows. exiftool(-k).exe is a compressed RAR file that uncompresses itself to the %Temp% directory. This can cause unexpected problems with anti virus tools. Geotag makes it even worse, since it creates a new ExifTool process for every picture it saves. But that's not necessary. With the -stay_open option...
Hey! Thanks for the hint with "Geotag.log" - even as it did not help to improve the situation. When looking into this file, I saw a number of warnings caused by the unavailability of some external tools I am not using at all. java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "gpsbabel": CreateProcess error=2, Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(Unknown Source) at org.fibs.geotag.gpsbabel.GPSBabel.checkGPSBabelAvailable(GPSBabel.java:70) at org.fibs.geotag.gui.MainWindow.<init>(MainWindow.java:170)...
From the screenshot I guess you're using Windows. So have a look at the file "Geotag.log" in the Temp directory (usually C:\Users{YOUR_USER_NAME}\AppData\Local\Temp). Maybe you'll find the reason of the error there.
I am observing a similar behavior also with the currently available latest revision 0.1.03 - I am not sure, whether this is related to the same topic but please have a look at the topic I've created in the help forum: Geotag 0.103: "File->Save new locations -> all images" does not work - Batch processing stops after 1st image is saved
Dear all, I am using Geotag quite often to correct time deviations and adjust location details in my private vacation pictures. I really appreciate this small, lightweight and easy to use Java application. However, there is one thing which never really worked for me: For some reason I am unable to save multiple files at once, no matter whether I chose all files or selected files (if multiple files are selected) in the File-> Save menu, batch processing just doesn't work. In any case, just the first...
I have installed Geotag 0.103 (Build 3521) on my Linux Mint 20 computer. I have been using Geotag on Windows and at times also on Linux before without ever a problem. This time however after a fresh install, the are two (important) things not working. Fiirst, I cannot tell Geotag where either dcraw or exiftool are located. I can after clicking on the correct menu options get to where I can select the location, I can then indeed select the location, but if I then click on OK, nothing happens. the...
Hello, I use Geotag 0.103 (Build 3521) on Windows 7. Geotag can find GPS coordinates for picture with GPX file. But I can't save GPS coordinates on picture file. Do you have an idea to solve this problem? Thank you for your help.
With increasingly strict licensing requirements being placed on Oracle Java, figuring out why it doesn't like the opensource Iced-Tea JVM becomes more of an issue.
Aha, I followed these instructions to install Java 8 and then did what Val said and it worked. I had Java 11 installed before.

Hello, I am new to Ubuntu and I think I am having the same issue. When I was using Windows I used GeoSetter but it only works on Windows. When I try to run the geotag-0.103.jar file from the Terminal, the Geotag logo appears in the middle of my screen but nothing else happens after that. I believe I installed Java and EXIFTool correctly through the Terminal... What do I need to do?
A number of my image files silently refuse to update with the added GPS info. I've traced this back to ExifTool refusing to update if the Maker Notes field offset is corrupted as frequently happens when photo editing software is used. Is there a setting that flags this error or can correct it automatically? -Chris-
Matthew Geier: install java-8 and then use "sudo update-alternatives --config java" to switch between Java 8, which Geotag appears to work fine with, and whatever Java version your distribution is using.
Does any one have a fix to make this work under the stock OpenJDK on ubuntu. With Oracle locking down the license of their JRE (I no can not run Oracle Java at work, as that may consitute commercal use, requiring an paid Oracle license), working out why Geotag and OpenJDK do not get a long is becomming an issue for me
I was able to fix by downloading jre-6u45-linux-x64.bin from Oracle and running as /home/<...>/jre1.6.0_45/bin/java -Xmx256M -jar geotag-0.103.jar This seem works fine. SE 8 worked as well but could not display map in the browser. the stock ubuntu version penjdk version "10.0.2" 2018-07-17 OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 10.0.2+13-Ubuntu-1ubuntu0.18.04.4) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 10.0.2+13-Ubuntu-1ubuntu0.18.04.4, mixed mode) aparently did not work.
Hi, I just updated computer from 32 to 64 bit Ubuntu and geotag freezes on startup screen.Older versions show first reminder on new version and then freeze as well. Exif tool is installed from upbuntu repos. Please help! Best Regards, Mikhail Tchernychev
Greetings to all. Unluclkily that argument is not working, at least not for Windows 10 and spanish language.
You can work around this by adding "-charset filename=utf8" to the exiftool arguments. At least, this worked for me with French accented characters and German umlauts.
Sorry, folks. It works now without changes. Maybe a temporary issue with google maps?! greetings, guenther
This happens when accesseing: http://localhost:4321/map/map.html?apiVersion=3&latitude=47.706738699986346&longitude=11.218118700001284&direction=false&zoom=15&images=6&language=de&maptype=Hybrid&menuopen=true&wheelzoom=false&showtracks=true&wikipedia=false on xubuntu 18.04.01. Tried openjdk11, openjdk8 and now oracle Java 8. Everything was fine on ubuntu 16.04. My browser is Firefox Quantum 61.01. Any help? Guenther
You must change filename exiftool(-k).exe to exiftool.exe
Hey ilke, The answer might be outdated but through few years the policy of Google Maps changed drastically so maybe if not for you, my answer will be useful for others who look for the similiar solutions. Embedding Google Maps through API isn't the easiest so check the guide https://nearplace.com/blog/how-to-add-multiple-markers-on-google-maps/ where you will learn it in 5 minutes. Cheers, Amy
unicode problem?

SOLVED! I have an explanation myself. Here it is: during installation of geotag on Windows 10 Java asks for access through the Windows firewall. I did not remember what I entered. But this is no problem. When you check START, System, Firewall, then reset Firewall to "standard" or remove the "Java" entry: next start of geotag will ask again for the necessary "Java" firewall entries. My problems came from JPGs with invalid GPS information, somewhere north of north pole :-(. This results in grey/empty...

Last year I've used geotag. Worked fine. I liked it. Today updated my java version. Then updated/downloaded geotag-0.103.jar. During installation or first start I clicked on a security issue.
