Description Johannes 2018-07-12 21:40:02 UTC

The edit date/time function while importing isn't really useful because you can only choose an absolute date. I would like to be able to adjust timestamps the way it is possible in BQM. Or the possibility to directly choose a workflow from the BQM which is directly executed while importing the images.
 
My problem: After importing images, the file last modified timestamp is off by two hours (daylight saving time) and one our during normal winter time compared to the created-timestamp. At the moment I correct this afterwards by selecting the newly imported images, use BQM with a saved workflow where i adjust the time as following: Using the digikam timestamp, the file last modified timestamp is changed.

Unfortunately there is no way in digikam to search for images where the digikam timestamp and the file last modified timestamp differs (to find old images to correct.)

By using 
exiv2 -q rename -T 
as a script while importing I was able to adjust the modified time of images according to the EXIF data.

Since digiKam-8.0.0, the modification time of the original file is copied to the downloaded file. So if the modification time is still wrong, this must already be the case in the original file.

Certainly it would be optionally possible to copy the Exif creation date to the modification time of the file.
