Version: (using KDE 4.1.3) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages digiKam believes every .AVI has the same creation-date (and time) and that's not the case. Maybe that's what messing things up. Nikon D90. See the attachments. I also would like to have the oldest photo like 091115-000001.NEF and the newer one's a higher number, doing anything wrong or should i add that as a wish?

Martin, There is no way for the moment to extract date from video files using Exiv2 library. In Camera GUI, we use file date provided by camera. Do you use Gphoto2 driver or UMS mode ? Gilles Caulier
*** Bug 199261 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
With current implementation from git master (next 2.1.0), i fixed a bug when date is taken from a file which cannot be parsed by Exiv2 (video file for ex). The bug is simple : no date is assigned ! At least, now, file system date is used as well. video file must be ordered. Can you test with current implementation ? Thanks in advance Gilles Caulier
For me this file can be closed with digiKam 2.1.0. Reopen if necessary... Gilles Caulier
Fixed with next 6.0.0 release which integrate a new video metadata parser based on FFMPEg instead Exiv2. Video date extraction work as expected.
