Description Thomas McGuire 2007-02-14 21:47:10 UTC 
Version:           SVN (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
OS:                Linux

Currently it is not possible to show the file creation date in the tooltip.
Since digikam seems to use this as the image date, it would be nice if it is available for the tooltip

Configure->Albums already distinguishes between file creation date and file modification date, while Configure->Tool tip does not, but should.

Thomas,

The file creation date can be displayed using "Show Camera Date" option with ToolTip setup.

The camera creation date is not always the same as the file creation date.
I have quite a lot of photos that have different camera/file creation dates.

This is wrong. digiKam always use Exif date tags to fill database...

You can see the file date in image properties sidebar tab.

For me the tool tip is already full. No more space to show this new date informations. Also this can be confuse for end-users to show 2 dates at the same place.

So, i will never implemente that. Sorry...

Well, then Configure->Albums is confusing, because it has file creation date and file modification date (but please don't remove it, I use it).

Damned, you has right. I re-open (:=)))

Thomas,

I confirm, there is a tipo error in Album config dialog page :

We have : 

- "file creation date" ==> Exif Creation date.
- "file modification date" == modification date from file-system.

So the label in setup page must be fixed to be clear...

In all case, i still on my viewpoint dixit comment #3.
