Description Johannes Stallkamp 2005-02-21 00:24:46 UTC 
Version:           digikam 0.7 (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
OS:                Linux

Copying images between two albums "destroys" (i.e. does not properly set) the file date of the copy. Since Digikam uses the file's modifications date to sort images by date instead of the EXIF date, the copied file's modification date should be set according to the original image.
