Description Glenn Washburn 2013-05-10 09:33:34 UTC

In the generated KML file, the TimeStamp element is a child of the Point element, however it should be a child of the Placemark element.  Google earth will warn about this if warnings are turned on.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select some geo-referenced photos.
2. Select menu item Export > Export to KML
3. Click OK (use defaults)
4. Open KML file in Google earth
Actual Results:  
Improper KML generated

Expected Results:  
Valid KML?

Point element reference:
https://developers.google.com/kml/documentation/kmlreference#point

Placemark reference:
https://developers.google.com/kml/documentation/kmlreference#placemark

These are for the 2.2 schema, but it should parse all valid 2.1 kmls.

Patch to always put date time as child of PlaceMark

Comment 2 David Greengas 2013-08-12 12:24:56 UTC

I noticed that when the EXIF date time is used, it is as a child of the PlaceMark element, but when the image date time is used, it is a child of the Point element. The attached diff makes it consistent.
