Hi,

for many years I was using the following code

<ja:if exists="originalDate"><i>${originalDate}</i></ja:if>
<ja:else>
<i>${fileDate}</i>
<ja:if test="${fileCategory}" value="video"> | <i>FPS: ${videoFPS} - Auflösung: ${videoWidth}×${videoHeight} - Dauer: ${videoDuration}</i></ja:if>
</ja:else>
<ja:if exists="gpsLocation"> | <a href="https://maps.google.com/?q=${gpsLocation}" class="mylink" rel="noreferrer nofollow"><abbr title="Google"><i class="fa fa-map-marker"> </i></abbr></a>
</ja:if>
<ja:if exists="gpsLocation"> | <%= (gpsLocation? '<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=' + gpsLocation.split(',')[0] + '&mlon=' + gpsLocation.split(',')[1] + '&zoom=16#map=' + gpsLocation.split(',')[0] + '/' + gpsLocation.split(',')[1] + '" class="mylink" rel="noreferrer nofollow"><abbr title="OSM"><i class="fa fa-map-marker"> </i></abbr></a>' : '') %>
</ja:if>
<ja:if exists="gpsLocation"> | <%= (gpsLocation? '<a href="https://kart.finn.no/?lng=' + gpsLocation.split(',')[1] + '&lat=' + gpsLocation.split(',')[0] + '" class="mylink" rel="noreferrer nofollow"><abbr title="kart.finn.no"><i class="fa fa-map-marker"> </i></abbr></a>' : '') %>
</ja:if>
<ja:if exists="gpsLocation"> | <a href="https://www.windy.com/?${gpsLocation},16" class="mylink" rel="noreferrer nofollow"><abbr title="windy.com"><i class="fa fa-map-marker"> </i></abbr></a>
</ja:if>
<ja:if exists="meta">
<ja:if test="<%=meta.get("Gps.GPS Altitude") != null && !meta.get("Gps.GPS Altitude").equals("") %>"> | <i>Höhe: ${gpsAltitude}</i></ja:if>
<ja:if test="<%=meta.get("Iptc.Country/Primary Location Name") != null %>"> | <i>Land: <%=meta.get("Iptc.Country/Primary Location Name")%></i></ja:if>
<ja:if test="<%=meta.get("Iptc.City") != null %>"> | <i>Stadt: <%=meta.get("Iptc.City")%></i></ja:if>

</ja:if>
<ja:switch test="${rating}">

<ja:case value="5"> | <span style="color:gold;">&starf;&starf;&starf;&starf;&starf;</span></ja:case>
<ja:default></ja:default>
</ja:switch>
<ja:if exists="fileTitle"> | ${fileTitle}</ja:if> | ${comment}

Most of the code still works fine. But the extraction of the gpsLocation fails. I don't get any links for Google, OpenStreetMap, Finn and Windy. I'm not sure if this is a Tiger issue, a core issue or my own fault.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Just as a quick sanity check, I tried one of my own skins, which uses similar logic, though in Groovy rather than in jAlbum scripting language, and it's working fine. Simplified code:

if(exists.gpsLocation) {
	gmLL = gpsLocation.split(",");
	if(gmLL.length == 2 && !(0 == Float.parseFloat(gmLL[0]) && 0 == Float.parseFloat(gmLL[1]))) {
		metaString += getGPSMeta(gpsLocationToDMS(gpsLocation), exifGPSLabel);
	}
}

Maps are working in Tiger, as well.

ETA: Off-topic, but I check for zero coordinates because one user had a camera which, if its GPS was turned off, would plant the image at Null Island instead of leaving the variable empty.

You have selected Settings > Advanced > Metadata > XMP as a source? (No gremlins got to your settings)

You are doing a lot more testing than needed. Just do one <ja:if exists="gpsLocation">
Then add all of the different map providers you want, without using the redundant <%= (gpsLocation? test

Rob, OK, this would be to optimise the code, for sure. Most of the code is not my own code, I asked for it many years here in the forum, because I don't know how this code works. Fact is, it worked until a few days ago pretty fine. And I have no idea what changed since. Does that exact code work for you, if I may ask?

OK, I was using JA 39.4.8. I deinstalled that version and installed 39.3.2. And everything is fine again. My old code works perfect.

Compiled album with 39.3.2.

So I think this is something for team Sweden.

Cheers, Markus

ETA: Maybe it's not JA but Tiger. Tiger 8.0.2. vs. 8.0.3.

One longshot: have you installed David's latest metadata package, metadata-extractor-2.20-main.jar? If you do, make sure to remove metadata-extractor-2.15.0.jar. Having both might do strange things.
