Description RalphB 2011-11-12 13:04:55 UTC 
Version:           2.7 (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

When "Sort by Date" is selected, Gwenview always sorts by file date instead of EXIF date even when EXIF information is present in the JPG files (it is shown correctly in the meta information tab).

(In fact I couldn't remember if sorting by EXIF date is even supported by Gwenview, but bug reports 242332 and 281720 seem to suggest so.)

The date-related EXIF tags in my files are:

0x0132 Date and Time
0x9003 Date and Time (Original)
0x9004 Date and Time (Digitized)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Touch some JPGs with EXIF data so that file date order differs from EXIF date order.

Actual Results:  
Sorted by file date

Expected Results:  
Sorted by EXIF date

Fix reading of exif date in images

KFileMetaInfo (actually the Strigi jpeg indexer) changed its format and I
am not sure the new format is correct. For now it is simpler to directly
use Exiv2. This should actually be faster than going through
KFileMetaInfo > Strigi > Exiv2.
FIXED-IN: 2.9.0
