Screenshot of the Exif-information dialog

SUMMARY

> I am running Kphotoalbum 6.1.0 on Opensuse Tumbleweed.  I upgraded from
> 6.0.1 to see if it solves the problem.
> I noticed that exif dates are shown without the day.  It shows just the
> year and the month.  Some other information seems to be wrong sometimes.
> To see correct  exif information  with exiftool I created a shell script
> that runs exiftool ${filename} | xmessage -file - selecting "Your Command
> Line".[image: Screenshot_20251027_132305.png]
> 
>  I limited it to show up to 3 files at a time because sometimes %all has a
> complete list of files.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enable display of a DateTime field in the "EXIF/IPTC" settings dialog (e.g. Exif.Image.DateTime)
2. Open an image with EXIF information in the viewer
3. Open the context menu via right-click and select the EXIF Info dialog

OBSERVED RESULT
The DateTime field is displayed incompletely, as "YYYY:MM:" (e.g. "2025:10:").

EXPECTED RESULT
The DateTime field should be displayed completely, including the full date and time information.

Fix date/time display in EXIF dialog

Date/Time strings in the EXIF data were incorrectly truncated before
display since the Qt6/KF6 transition.
