Some Pentax metadata do not show in IMatch Metadata Panel

After reading this thread https://www.photools.com/community/index.php?topic=4123.0 I tried to display some Pentax metadata in IMatch. From a number of Maker Metadata shown in ExifTool I wanted to display AF Point Selected (Fig. 1). In Tag Manager I enabled Pentax Metadata, AF Point Selected was shown in the list (Fig. 2). I then closed Tag Manager, rescanned images and opened Metadata Panel. You can see that AF Point Selected appears among the Pentax metadata, but no value is displayed (Fig. 3). This actually happened for a couple of other metadata. Any idea what could be wrong? Thanks, Pavel.

This looks like you did not enable all tags. And I see several tags with the "AF Point selected" name. Maybe for your camera, one of the other tags is filled. I suggest you enable all Pentax tags in Tag Manager, then rescan a file. Tags not contained in your files will not use up space.

Thanks, Mario. Yes, all tabs were not enabled. I did that and installed 5.3.4. and after loading IMatch everything looked all right (Fig. 1). Then, I just selected another image and the value for AF Point Selected was missing again (Fig. 2). Returning to the originally selected image for which the metadata values were complete resulted in missing value for AF Point Selected. The only thing that helps is to restart IMatch - the image that is selected after restarting has the complete metadata values...

Open bug report.
Attach sample Pentax file or make available for download or send to me with a link to your bug report. I will then look into this for one of the next releases.
