Calendar view - not sorting by EXIF date

Calendar view - not sorting by EXIF date
 
|
I just started working with digiKam (again) and have tried both v1.4.0
and v1.5.0 (from the philip5 ppa) in Kubuntu Maverick and neither version's calendar view seems to be working off of the EXIF date. When I select, for example, 2010 -> October I get a bunch of images from this month but also some that have creation and modification dates this month but EXIF dates from various other times. The documentation states that: "digiKam uses either the EXIF date or, if no EXIF date is available, the last modification time of the file." http://docs.kde.org/development/en/extragear-graphics/digikam/using-kapp.html#using-mydatesview but that is not what I am observing. A screenshot is available at: http://fstab.net/digikam/digiKam_calendar_view.png In that shot you can see the calendar view selection (October 2010), the modification and creation dates (October 25, 2010), and the EXIF date (December 23, 2007). Is there any option for this now or does the documentation need to be updated? Thanks for the great software and any help you can offer on this matter.

In Exif view of this image, turn on full tags list and look other date
information. Use tags filters if necessary. This is the order of Exif/Xmp/IPTC tags used to fill date timestamp in digiKam database : http://lxr.kde.org/source/KDE/kdegraphics/libs/libkexiv2/libkexiv2/kexiv2image.cpp#482 As you can see in this code the order is : Exif.Photo.DateTimeOriginal Exif.Photo.DateTimeDigitized Exif.Image.DateTime Xmp.exif.DateTimeOriginal Xmp.exif.DateTimeDigitized Xmp.photoshop.DateCreated Xmp.xmp.CreateDate Xmp.tiff.DateTime Xmp.xmp.ModifyDate Xmp.xmp.MetadataDate Iptc.Application2.DateCreated Iptc.Application2.DigitizationDate Gilles Caulier 2010/10/26 Kyle Altendorf <[hidden email]>: > I just started working with digiKam (again) and have tried both v1.4.0 > and v1.5.0 (from the philip5 ppa) in Kubuntu Maverick and neither > version's calendar view seems to be working off of the EXIF date. > When I select, for example, 2010 -> October I get a bunch of images > from this month but also some that have creation and modification > dates this month but EXIF dates from various other times.

Hi Gilles,
Thanks for the quick reply. I clicked the 'Full list' button for this screenshot: http://fstab.net/digikam/digiKam_calendar_view_full_exif.png All three EXIF dates appear to be present and the same (December 23, 2007).

Screenshot:
http://fstab.net/digikam/digiKam_calendar_view_properties.png Creation and modification times are both listed as October 25, 2010 under the thumbnail as is the date in the properties view. In case it's useful the original image is available at: http://fstab.net/digikam/DSCI0682.JPG There are other images acting similarly, I have just selected this one as a particular example. digiKam may have been open when the images were copied (outside of digiKam) to this computer on the 25th.

Look like your image is imported properly in my collection :

Re: Calendar view - not sorting by EXIF date

I guess it's likely an import bug then? I figure I'll write metadata
to all files, remove all collections, and then add back the collections... unless there's a better way to give digiKam a chance to reprocess the dates and resolve this? And then in the future I should always have digiKam closed when copying files (not using digiKam) into catalogue directories?

Just try this : - stop digiKam. - from a file manager as dolphin create a new album. - edit the famous image into showfoto and crop it - save the image in the new album with a new name. - start digiKam and look the result into this new album. digiKam is able to recognize the image data to parse first bytes of file and compare it with other image fingerprint. renaming the image to a new album is not enough. database will recognize it as duplicate. croping the image will change image fingerprint. an old bug > And then in the future I > should always have digiKam closed when copying files (not using > digiKam) into catalogue directories? > no. I never do it here, with my huge image collection. Something is wrong with your database (probably an old bug) Create a new account and try to rescan your collection to create a new database. Look if date are better. Do not use the current database file of course.

Re: Calendar view - not sorting by EXIF date
|
|
Unfortunately I had already written the metadata to the images (but
not the other stuff) without waiting for your wiser response... this ended up writing the incorrect date into two of the three EXIF fields leaving only the digitization date uncorrupted. This happened to a few other images as well. I re-copied the files with digiKam closed to recover the time stamps and then reread their metadata into digiKam. At this point I assume that I have destroyed the scenario you were helping me explore and debug. :[ Maybe next time I won't jump ahead. I can't check all 15k images but things seem better now. A separate issue, before I re-copied the files I went to manually undo the date changes and noticed that the edit EXIF window doesn't have any provision for editing the seconds field for any of the three dates. The same applies for IPTC and XMP as well. In the EXIF window, despite not having access to seconds the checkboxes and fields are present for sub-second resolution. As to the broken database and old bug... I created this database fresh with v1.4.0. Should I be concerned about other troubles in the database that I haven't noticed?
