Wrong date in all photos

[Dotan Cohen]

I recently imported over 8000 pictures into DigiKam, dating from 2002
to present. However, they are all dated 21 February 2007, which is the
date that I imported them to DigiKam and not the date that they were
photographed. I see under "properties" that the correct date (the date
that the image was photographed) is listed. How can I have DigiKam
sort by creation date, not modified date?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

you can select all your photos, then select "Change date and time" (or
whatever it is called, can't check right now) and select "Set date to EXIF
date". In the case of 8000 pictures, get a cup of coffee and it should be
done.

My personal camera is a Fuji 5500, before that a Fuji 2800. The wife
insists on photographing with her Nokia 6280 and we have hundreds of
photos from friends with different models of cameras.

Note that the problem occurs with all the photos, irregardless of
camera used. And opening the photos with other tools such as F-Spot
does not present a problem: in F-Spot the photos are sorted properly.
So I don't think that the problem is with the photos themselves :)

Where is the "change date and time" or anything else like that? It's
certainly not under

Where is the "change date and time" or anything else like that? It's
certainly not under "tools" or any other menu item in 0.9.1, and it's
not in the right-click menu either. I don't see it in the Editor
either, not that it would help there as I'd have to do 8000 pictures
individually.

Hi,

it is in "Image->Adjust time and date". And don't worry, it won't take the
whole night (referring to your other mail).

On my DigiKam 0.9.1 installation under Image I have only (translated
from Hebrew):
View
Edit
Fix EXIF data regarding direction of photo
Change Name
Delete

What version of DigiKam do you have where this option is available? Thanks.

This option come from a kipi-plugins, not digiKam itself.

Thanks, Gilles. 0.13 is not available in the FC repos, and I don't
want to break anything by installing the tarball. However, as DigiKam
does see the correct date (as do other apps such as F-Spot that use
exiv2) I doubt that is the problem.

I think you are missing the kipi-plugins, it's a second plugin suite common to
a number of KDE graphical programs. When you install it, digikam will
integrate them into the menu. If not, go to the Settings page and enable them
(maybe you have already installed but not enabled?)

Thanks. I yummed kipi and installed it. Now DigiKam has a wealth of
new options: it's going to take me a while to explore them all!

I've made the changes and I'm waiting for it to complete. Been ten
minutes already... I'll report back with success or failure. Thanks!

F-Spot is not digiKam in the order to handle Exif date.

Exiv2 give a low level access to informations from metadata without sort it

digiKam use an interface to do it named libkexiv2. F-spot do not use this interface.

If you take a look into my code from libkexiv2, you can find this method

    /** Return the time stamp of image. Exif information are check in first, IPTC in second
        if image don't have Exif information. If no time stamp is found, a null date is returned. */
    QDateTime getImageDateTime() const;

Yes, I was missing kipi-plugins. What is the first plugins suite? I
don't seem to have another.

You can quite easily install everything to a separate place,
see for example http://www.digikam.org/?q=download/svn
(and as you would do this as a normal user, and not as root,
there is no danger of breaking anything; fortunately this
is linux ;-)

Failure. Although I did select all the photo and performed "Set file
date to EXIF/IPTC creation date" they are all still February 2007. In
the IPTC and EXIF data I do see the correct date, however. Why is
this? DigiKam sat there working for a good 15 minutes before it
finished, so I know that it was doing something. Reseting the program
did not help.

I'd rather use the stable (yes, I know that it's beta) versions as
this is the wifey machine and I don't need any unforeseen problems or
surprises. Thanks for the suggestion, though.
