           Summary: camera tool: date & time should be taken from exif not
                    file modified date
           Product: digikam
           Version: 0.9.2
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: guy pcguy org


Version:           0.9.2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

Not sure if it is a bug or wishlist, but with the current trend of digital cameras it is more of a bug then a wishlist. So here it goes. When adding new photos with an camera tool the date/time should be taken from exif information not file modified time. Many times the files will be shuffled around the system and modified by external programs that makes file modified time useless for the purpose of establishing created time. However, for the sake of those that have images with incorrect/missing exif date/time there can be a check box right before Add Camera Name option.

To me this sounds very much like a duplicate of
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=141014
I would suggest that you add anything additional there and mark
this one as duplicate of bug 141014.

All hope is not lost, there is a way around the problem. just run this code before importing photos 'jhead -ft *.JPG' that will reset file modified time to exif date/time.

The bug 141014 is general. I am suggesting to add a check box in import tool to select what should be used as time (exif or mtime)

If you guys think that an application wide setting is more useful then we can mark this as duplicate and move our discussion there.
