Set Image Date and time?

I am having problems to get this to work for me...I selected 95 images and
choose Subtract 6 hours, sync the exif and IPTC tags.  It appears that all 95
images now have the exact same modified date and time.  It appears to be from
the first image in the list.  As well the EXIF information was not updated so
you can still find the original chronological sequence...

Has any else experienced this?

using Digikam 0.9.1 (Using KDE 3.5.6) , Ubuntu 7.04.  KIPI lib ver 0.15.

Thanks

Hubert

So what should I do with this problem?  I'm new to this type of scenario....Do I
wait for someone to help?  Do I simply list this as a bug?  Am I supposed to
trouble shoot this some more before I report the bug?  What do others do?

Thanks

Hubert

Hmm, I cannot reproduce the problem (using current svn):
- select a few images in the Album View
- Image -> Adjust Time & Date:
  Add 10 hours

If  "View -> Sort Images -> By Date" is ticked
(Have you checked this?), the images
do appear in the changed order (maybe after changing
back to a different folder and then going back).

The date which is changed is the one under
"Image Information" (not those "Date and Time (digitized)",
or "Date and Time (original)".

HTH, Arnd

Oh, well that does clear things up.  Yes it does work as expected, now that I
understand the behavior of the plugin.  I double checked the docs and they are
in need of some information.  Maybe I'll try to draft something....

Thanks

Hubert

That would of course be great - any additions are welcome!

Remark to the developer team:
I just tried to find out about procedure to supply additional
documentation, but did not find anything on the digikam
web page under "Documentation" or "Contrib".
What is the correct approach, and should a short description
on this maybe added to the Webpage to encourage contributions?

Best, Arnd

Hubert, with docs you mean the handbook, right?
(at least I assumed this in for the rest of my reply ;-)

Yes, I was thinking of the handbook.

That would be very helpful in any case (unless it is
already written somwhere ...)!

This B.K.O. entry seems also relevant:

Well I have some reading to do before I can start writing.

Yes I believe I am also experiencing this problem.  I will follow up with the
BKO if I can reproduce the problem better.
