[digikam] [Bug 315247] New: Sort photos by exif creation date

[Cambenora]

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=315247

            Bug ID: 315247
           Summary: Sort photos by exif creation date
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: digikam
           Version: 2.8.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Albums GUI
          Assignee: [hidden email]
          Reporter: [hidden email]

Add an option to sort photos by the date recorded in the image metadata.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Currently, "sort by date" sorts photos by the file date. Whilst this normally
equates to the same as the exif date, it can change if the file has been
modified. Therefore the file is then sorted out of order in respect to the date
the photo was taken.

Which type of files you have in your collection ?

Sort by date use time-stamp of photo registered in database. This info is take
from photo metadata in first or, if metadata are not available, from file
system date.

Hello Gilles

I have jpeg files taken from a digital camera (Fujifilm FinePix AV100).
I've attached one as an example.

Instead of opening a new bug, I'll jump in here.

I also desperately need an option to sort by EXIF DateTimeOriginal. My RAW
converter (correctly, as per EXIF standard) re-sets DateTime when exporting to
JPEG. The original date is in the DateTimeOriginal tag.

Actually, in "Settings -> Album view settings", there is a tickbox for "camera
creation time", but this picks the wrong tag. The coolest thing would be to get
this fixed, and additionally add an option to "View -> Album sorting" menu for
DateTime (original)

See for example Gwenview bug 281720 where this has been done.

A related digikam bug is 139264

The import feature also makes this mistake and creates sub-albums by modify
date - not as axpected by creation date...
makes the import unusable for me...
