Description ks 2010-04-07 17:02:24 UTC

Version:           0.10.0 (using KDE 4.4.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I use two cameras: Canon Powershot S80 and Nikon Coolpix P90. Everything works fine with Canon Powershot (except for occasional crashes when deleting pictures on the camera and wrong sequence numbers), but when I import pictures from the Nikon with the same settings as for the Canon (date-based-subalbums foramt ISO, and rename the pictures: date yyyy_MM_dd and sequence number) all images are saved in the folder 1969-12-31 with the name 1969_12_31_x.jpg. When I look at the image info the date and time in the picture is correct.

Please update to digiKam 1.2.0 and try again. 0.10.0 is pretty old...

I installed 1.2.0 but the problem persists. The camera window already shows the wrong filename whereas the information window of the picture shows the correct date/time.

If you tell me the relevant functions I could debug (gdb).

Could this be a bug in the gphoto driver for the camera? It seems digikam is able to correctly read the data from the metadata, but possibly for the renaming the gphoto information is used. Does the relevant camera require gphoto to access it, or is it a USB mass storage device (you can access pictures from dolphin etc.)?
In any case, I recommend to try with a recent version.

Comment 9 caulier.gilles 2011-08-04 14:30:12 UTC

I fixed a lots of file relevant of date management in camera interface with future 2.1.0...

Can you test with code from current git master and report.

Thanks in advance

I close this file. It's probably fixed in 2.1.0. Reopen if necessary...
