Exiftool doesn't display certain parameters anymore

[toyotadesigner]

The new version doesn't display certain parameters from my ARW files anymore.

Until recently, I could read following information:

Lens : FE 24-105mm F4 G OSS
Date Created : 2024:10:18
Aperture : 6.3
Lens ID : Sony FE 24-105mm F4 G OSS
Shutter Speed : 1/160
Focus Distance 2 : 2.015 m
Field Of View : 60.3 deg
Focal Length : 31.0 mm (35 mm equivalent: 31.0 mm)
Hyperfocal Distance : 5.08 m
Light Value : 11.6

Now the »Focus Distance 2« is missing. OK, I can use exiftool to view these parameters, but in older versions this had been a very comfortable way to check lens data…

The ExifTool window shows only the »Composite« and »PrintIM Version«, nothing else.

with the TIF sent, i have EXIF fields in ExifTool panel

[toyotadesigner]

But as you can see in the screenshot, it is only part of the EXIF file in the panel on the left.

Re-install XnView? I don't want to damage my image database.

[toyotadesigner]

macOS Catalina
Version 10.15.7 (19H2026)
iMac (27 inch, Late 2013)
Processor 3,4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
Memory 24 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

exiftool 12.99 runs perfectly on this Mac, just in case you might think it won't work:

XnView runs with exiftool version unknown (it does not display a version at all)

I don't have anymore Catalina, but only Monterey, and no probleme here
1.8.1 works?

[toyotadesigner]

The last working version was from summer this year. I'll try 1.8.1 today.

[toyotadesigner]

Just downloaded and installed 1.8.1. Nope, same result as with 1.8.2.

However, maybe this helps:

When I start XnView 1.8.1 and select a TIFF, the Exif data are displayed, even the Exiftool version 10.98.

But as soon as I select a different TIFF, there are only 2 entries displayed in the panel: > Composite and > PrintIM.

When I select a third TIFF, there are different entries displayed: > Composite and > ICC_Profile
