Thanks for the screenshots, Andy50! I’ve removed your location data due to security reasons.

In the desktop version (Firefox browser), photo information does not contain the location data as illustrated below. A point I noticed was that the date information displayed depended on the language rather than the desired date format in 'Settings/Preferences'. Initially the dates were showing as mm/dd/yyyy format despite the setting being dd/mm/yyyy. Changing the language to English (UK) rather than the default English (US) did change the date format. (I had no reason to look at settings before!) Also, I cannot work out why the 'Tags' field disappeared.

    Thanks for the additional info (and the screenshot)! 

     

    Is it OK if we log a ticket for you in this case, and check this further?

      Of course it is OK to log it and investigate. Thanks for your help.
