Description Dschoch 2013-03-28 17:13:36 UTC 
EXIF-information of a jpg shows as the photo-date '941066351' instead of 2.3.2005.
Seems these are something like 'seconds-since-...'

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mark a jpeg-file 
2. read the EXIF-properties at the right panel
3.
Actual Results:  
string like 941066351

Expected Results:  
readable date like 2.3.2005

Mouse-over over Folder

Accidently recognized also, that the mouse-over over a folder (here 'Downloads'), which contains jpegs, do not show it on the right-side preview anymore. At Dolphin-settings, the preview for folders is checked. Not sure, when this behavior introduced, maybe with KDE 4.10.1. Just in case, anybody had made the same experience....

Scrennshot surely helps clarifying the issue, but could you upload that problematic image itself if possible ?

Example of a Nikon-picture

I see this issue with several camera-models, like this NIKON E3100 and Canon EOS450D

The MetaDataWidget is provided by Nepomuk -> I guess that 'nepomuk' is the right product.
Comment 9 Ignacio Serantes 2013-04-04 09:47:50 UTC 
This must be old data stored using strigi because new exif analyzer, the one in KDE 4.10, don't import creation dates. I know it because I fixed this problem yesterday.

With my fix creation dates are imported and displayed correctly in Dolphin.

Commit http://commits.kde.org/nepomuk-core/5e0ee421bf16f772080fab1a87b7dbcd2c5a6f5d resolved the problem importing datetime values in exiv2extractor.

Files need to be reindexed manually or wait for KDE 4.11 where a method to automate this process will be available.

Here, http://trueg.wordpress.com/2011/12/05/manually-forcing-the-re-indexing-of-folders-is-easy, is described a method to reindex folders.
