Files created in 2.6 show "Corrupt 'gimp-metadata' parasite. Parsing XMP data failed.
Last modified: 2018-05-24 17:02:17 UTC
Message shown: Corrupt 'gimp-metadata' parasite discovered. XMP data could not be migrated: Parsing XMP data failed. This occurs when opening most *.xcf files that were created with version 2.6(whatever version is in the main Ubuntu 14.04 repositories. I'm not sure what this means, but to my thinking metadata is specific information/properties of a photograph/file such as location, date, time, comments. My google searches didn't yield any results so I felt it best to create a report. Hoping I'm not duplicating. OS: Elementary OS Freya 0.3.0 (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:GNU/Linux Kernel 4.4)
Have you got a sample file that is small enough - i.e. 3600 kB or less - to attach?

I assume GIMP master is right and the data is broken. Older versions were not very sophisticated about metadata handling. Is there anything to suggest the metadata is correct?
