Filter No GPS Data is not updated.

Hello Mario,

GPS data for 8 images have been updated by Copy/Paste metadata from original image. However, filter No GPS data still shows 8 images as having no GPS data.
Copy has been done from Default Metadata panel layout of original image to target image.
I've noticed that there is difference between Browser Metadata panel of original and target image (no GPS data).

Try to write back. Any change?

Yes Mario, it helps. Now the filter is clear. Thank you.

This issue is caused by the fact that IMatch sets the raw tag value when you modify coordinates in the Metadata Panel or the Map Panel.

The @MetadataTag formula used for the "Files without GPS" category searches the formatted tag value, which is only updated during the write-back and the re-reading of the metadata afterwards.

I have dealt with this particular issue by implementing an optional rawvalue option for the @MetadataTag formula with the hasvalue and novalue operators. If rawvalue is specified, the @MetadataTag formula searches the raw value instead of the formatted value.

For new databases created with IMatch 2023.1.18 and later, the IMatch Workflow Category "No GPS Data" uses the new formula. For existing databases I will ask users to change the formula via the release notes.
