Changing the Calendar View Date After Changing Exif Dates on Images
 
|
Hi all,
I scanned a bunch of photos (~ 1000 or more), and they all wound up with a default date of 1980. Fair enough. I have changed the exif data on one set of these photos, but when I use the calendar view in Digikam (the left side pane), as opposed to the folder view, the 'folder' year displays as "1980" and the month as "January", when the photos were actually taken in August, 1990. I did try right-clicking on the Year 'folder' in calendar view and even changing the folder properties in the folder view to reflect August 1990. Is it possible to update this side pane, or do I then have to delete the photos and re-add them? I was really wanting to change the exif data before importing the images for this very reason, so I would have a "clean" import. I do have reading skills, so if there is already good documentation or an e-mail thread on this issue, feel free to point me to it. I have not yet seen anything that quite touches this subject, but imagine I cannot be the only one who has experienced this. Thanks, Don -- D.C.

That said, the issue is not addressed in the documentation included with Kubuntu 11.10. Might be nice to have a brief comment that the calendar view auto-updates on program re-start. I also noticed an option under the Album menu that says "Reread metadata from images. Does this update the calendar view, assuming the date/time has been updated in the metadata? Again, it is not included in the current documentation. Don -- D.C.

Gone to digikam 2.3 and all my albums dont show up

I have just installed Fedora 16 and it haa digikam 2.3. My previous
system was digikam 1.9 and I use SQLite database. When 2.3 opens my database it complains that the UUID has changed (which it has) so I chose that option to say the UUID had changed and left the root directory as it showed, but when it opens it show one local collection in the albums rather than my list of albums whcih I ha setup in 1.9. What am I doing wrong? I can see the SQLite contents and the albums are all listed!

Well I have read that report but not sure if it's the same as I dont use
LVM or RAID. Dont know yet if Fedora uses HAL or SOLID but I'll find out. Just seems to me that it should still use the data that's in the db as the path has not changed, it only thinks the UUID has done.

The problem is the same with and HDD against LVM or RAID media.
In digiKam database we identify a collection by the UUID of partition. like you have changed the disk of your collection, digiKam cannot found it again. Nothing is lost. UUID in DB need to be changed. There is no GUI to fix UUID in digiKam collection setup. DB file need to be patched with a dedicated editor.
