Zenphoto cannot decode EXIF IPTC in UTF-8
I like to centralize my maintenance of image description in IDimager and let Zenphoto to extract the information from the image EXIF IPTC. Recently, after upgrading to latest Zenphoto 1.2.5, I found the Zenphoto could not decode the UTF-8 encoded image description from EXIF IPTC anymore as before. Finally, I realized I stupidly forgot to set a Zenphoto parameter which I did before. The parameter can be located via Zenphoto admin page => options => image => IPTC encoding. Change it from Western European (ISO) to UTF-8. Then, it works again! There is another parameter on admin page => options => general => charset which has already been set as Unicode (UTF-8) by default. But this setting alone will not help to properly decode the UTF-8 encoded character in image EXIF IPTC.
