GIMP vs Exif Data

[walecha]

Thank God I just need one night to resolve the crap thing that libexif did to GIMP jpeg plugins. The new Exif library (perhaps) using different method to access jpeg info tag. This caused GIMP goes to segmentation fault whenever GIMP tries to load jpeg image wich is had a digital camera information tag. So I suggessed, at least for now, don't upgrade your Exif library as it has a compatibility problem with the GIMP. Just use the last stable libexif and not the new stable releases (or the beta one?).

User's Package Info:
Slackware 10.1 (several current)
GIMP 2.2.7
Libexif 0.6.11
