Summary: On import renaming by date from file should use exif
date and time not modification time as standard
Product: digikam
Version: 5.0.0
Platform: Debian unstable
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Import

I import images with "Add images" (as my sd-card is not recognised as an
sd-card, just standard storage) and use the file renaming options to prefix
every file with the create date/time. This results in images being renamed to
the modification time of the file. This is not consistent with the renaming
utility (invoked by F2), where the exif date/time is used. In any case exif
date/time is what one would expect (I cannot think of any reason to use the
modification time).
The renaming behaves as expected (using exif) when you check the box "use file
metadata (makes connection slower) in the "Behavior" rider of the Cameras part
of the settings. In my opinion this is not even justified for import from
camera, but is certainly not expected for import from any storage media. And
the setting is not intuitive to find, as I never use a camera in the process
(in an "Import" submenu, one might find it).
Please change the standard to read date from exif instead of file modification
time.
Reproducible: Always
