Description Michal Kolodziejczyk 2005-12-30 12:31:10 UTC

Installed from:    Unspecified Linux

I have lots of scanned images in jpg format, but without EXIF header. I would like to change dates/timestamps of those images. Unfortunately, when digikam first saw those images, it remebered their creation time (or date when scanned/copied). Now even if I change their ctime/mtime, digikam still remembers the old date. I have to remove the directory, then start digikam (so it would delete the metainfo), then recall the deleted directory, and then start digikam again. So I would like digikam to:
1. reread ctimes when starting and/or
2. allowing to change ctime/mtime from the GUI (eg. from the date of the album)

You can adjust the time by using the kipi batch time adjust plugin _or_ in the comments and tags editor.

Comment 3 caulier.gilles 2018-09-22 07:29:49 UTC 
Not reproducible with 6.0.0, using stand alone Time Adjust tool restored by
Maik for next 6.0.0-beta2 release.
