           Summary: calendar view/digikam date does not update when exif
                    dates changed externally
           Product: digikam
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: rl6 shinyblue net


Version:           0.9.2-final (using 3.5.8, Kubuntu (gutsy) 4:3.5.8-0ubuntu3.4~gutsy1~ppa2)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.20-15-generic

I took some photos, downloaded them to Digikam, viewed calendar view and it was there that I noticed the dates were 11 May, not 10 May. This was because I had my camera set to the wrong date.

So I quit Digikam, and used the jhead command to adjust the exif dates back to the 10 May. In Digikam, the exif sidebar for the photos now shows the date as 10 May, but in the calendar view the images are still listed under 11 May.

When I change the date of an image in the EXIF header, I have two entries: "date and time (modified)" and "date and time (original)".

DigiKam seems to take the original time which will not change (well it did not on my system). So when you want to change the date and time for some images, you should do this directly in digiKam:

1. select the images you want to change
2. from the menu select Image->Metadata->Edit EXIF
3. Go to the date and time tab and edit the settings (I will add a screenshot to show you the settings needed)
4. After that, the database will be updated and the date view is correct again.

This should fix your "problem"...

screenshot of problem

I've attached a screenshot of the problem (for clarity's sake, but I think you
understood anyway)

I appreciate your help, but I was really reporting it as a *bug* that should be
fixed, it actually doesn't bother me much (in this instance) that digikam shows
the image on the wrong date.

Also, a quick fix is to externally rename the folder, eg. append a _, then
digikam will have to reindex the files as it thinks it's new.

I might try the digikam GUI for changing the dates if I need it in future, but
it really should work interoperably with other software, so I do hope that
someone is interested in fixing this (albeit non urgent!) bug at some point.

Rich.

It is a bit of a spot the difference, I admit!

The problem is that despite what you've pointed out (and -not shown- that the file mtime is also the same date), digikam lists it under 11 May, (see bottom left red circle) instead of 10 May. See original bug report above.

thanks.

Rich
