Description Ulises M. Estrada López 2007-09-25 15:21:17 UTC 
Version:           0.9.1 (using KDE 3.5.6, Kubuntu (feisty) 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu14.1)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.20-16-generic

When sorting an album by date, the date that is used is not the one in the "EXIF>Image information", but the one in "EXIF>Embedded thumbnail". The only date that gets modified when using "Image>Adjust Date & time" is the "EXIF>Image information" the other one stays the same.

uLe,

There is no reason for that. the plugin set all tags relevant DatTime info from Exif and Iptc. Look KExiv2::setImageDateTime() method from libkexiv2 :

The plugin use libkexiv2 + Exiv2 libraries. Which versions you use ?
