Description Simon Schmeisser 2012-09-04 10:32:50 UTC 
When the exif time stamps are changed by an external program, the internal timestamp in digikam is not updated.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. compare time in "Photograph Properties" and in exif-view
2. run exiftool -AllDates-=3:44 IMG_1201.CR2
3. recompare
Actual Results:  
in step one, the dates are equal
in step three, the exif time is changed, while the "Photograph Properties" time is unchanged

Expected Results:  
"Photograph Properties" should show the updated exif time

Workaround: use the "Image->Adjust Time & Date" Tool to update the internal time
Comment 1 caulier.gilles 2012-09-04 10:46:10 UTC 
Do you tried to run "More/Read metadata from file to DB option from bottom of Captions/Tags tab from right sidebar ?

Comment 2 Simon Schmeisser 2012-09-04 11:22:27 UTC 
Yes, that works. But it is quite well hidden and shouldn't that happen automatically?

(Best would be of course if the "Image->Adjust Time & Date" Tool would support CR2 files ... )
Comment 3 caulier.gilles 2012-09-04 11:31:12 UTC 
Image->Adjust Time & Date is a kipi-plugin, and is not better visible.

I plan to add a new option in maintainance tool to update DB info using image metadata (the reverse action already exist). The advantage is to run on whole Collection in background.
