So, this one here was quite a beast to debug.
Writing metadata into HEIC files created by iOS 18.x on Apple iPhone PRO and MAX models is much faster now with my #NeoFinder 8.8 for #macOS.
The problem is that #Apple writes some very strange XMP metadata into these files, but only on these iPhone models. They actually write THREE separate, but only partial XMP records, very weird. But we managed to make it so that NeoFinder can still add and modify proper XMP metadata in these files, and a lot faster now.
