Version: (using KDE 4.3.5) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS : Ubuntu karmic 9.10 kernel : 2.6.31-20-generic Digikam : 2:1.0.0-beta5, 2:1.0.0-1ubuntu1~karmic1 kdebase-bin : 4:4.3.5-0ubuntu1~karmic1 APN : Nikon Coolpix S500 The transfer is made with a custom renaming string that works fine with any jpg (with this APN) or raw file (with another APN) : [date:yyyy.MM.dd_hh'h'mm'm'ss's']-### For video files of the Coolpix, I get names like -001.AVI, -002.AVI, ... Before transfer : exiftool -s -DateTimeOriginal /media/disk/DCIM/100NIKON/DSCN1200.AVI returns DateTimeOriginal : 2010:03:02 16:25:53 After transfer : exiftool -DateTimeOriginal -001.AVI Date Time Original : 2010:03:02 16:25:53 So exif infos are not lost but not used by Digikam for renaming. It was working fine with Digikam v0.9.x Regards.
There is no Exif info in video file. Only XMP, but it's not yet supported by Exiv2 library. Andi, renaming problem is due to Advanced Rename tool. Right ? Gilles
Actually, I noticed that only the following command return non-empty strings : exiftool -s -MakerNotes:DateTimeOriginal /media/disk/DCIM/100NIKON/DSCN1200.AVI exiftool -s -MakerNotes:DateTimeOriginal -001.AVI. After the import, the "XMP" and "MakerNotes" tabs are as empty as the "EXIF" one, as well as for correctly renamed videos with 0.9.x than for badly renamed ones with 1.0.0. Before the import, all tabs are greyed out. Something should have changed since the version 0.9.x that could explain the regression.
This problem is fixed in future 2.1.0 (git master code). I cannot reproduce it. I fixed a stupid bug in UMS camera driver which do not assign date from file system for items without metadata. I close this entry. Reopen if necessary. Gilles Caulier
