Using "with" in conjunction with .Exif produces runtime error for PNG images

[jmooring]

What version of Hugo are you using (hugo version)?

$ hugo version
Hugo Static Site Generator v0.76.0-DEV/extended linux/amd64 BuildDate: unknow

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

Yes.

Background

The documentation and this forum topic suggest using with to avoid errors when attempting to read EXIF data while ranging through a directory of images that contains one or more PNG files. Hugo's ability to read EXIF data is limited to the JPEG and TIFF formats.

Problem

Using this approach results in "error calling Exif: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference."

To reproduce the problem:

I will post a minimal failing example shortly.

See my comment in the forum.

The nested with does not seem to be working either. Minimal failing example:

git clone --single-branch -b hugo-github-issue-7688 https://github.com/jmooring/hugo-testing hugo-github-issue-7688
cd hugo-github-issue-7688
hugo server

See layouts/shortcodes/list-image-descriptions.html

Pushed minimal failing example again to fix comment syntax.

OK, a PNG image, yes then I think I understand.
