hi,

when i select images of a trip in e.g. February 2011 i want creat a new album from it and set the date correctly

using oldest/average/newest doesn't change the proposed date of the album

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
oldest would use date of first selected image to import
average -> average
newest-> newest

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.38.6-zen-01981-ga3c54ec

How exactly do you create the new album?

Comment 2 simon 2011-09-25 10:14:57 UTC

i do it like this:

- "import"
- select images 
- "download"
- album selection pops up
- select my root images folder 
- click "create new album"
- fill in title, category
- current date is preselected
- i want the album have the date of the first/last/average image dates to be imported, mybe the image dates of the whole collection is used?

Comment 3 Marcel Wiesweg 2011-10-29 12:57:41 UTC

It's a flaw in the implementation of the dialog.
Still not easy to solve because getting the date of the new images would first require to parse them, which may take long (scales linearly)
