Description kde.bugs 2015-06-07 17:07:55 UTC
Previously I've used the Gwenview importer because of its ability to modify the file name and include useful information about the picture - I used this syntax ...

{date}_{time}_{name.lower}.{ext.lower}

which according to the settings window should give shooting date and time - and indeed it used to as recently as January 2015 - but now it consistently uses the current date and time.

Same camera, same data card and same laptop.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Insert data card into computer and select 'Down load with Gwenview
2. Modify settings to use "{date}_{time}_{name.lower}.{ext.lower}"
3. Import files.

Actual Results:  
Files are imported with the current date and time.

Expected Results:  
Files are imported with shooting date and time in file name.

Works for me with the KF5 based Gwenview importer introduced with KDE Applications 17.04.

Please retest with a Kubuntu version newer than 14.04 and feel free to reopen this if this is still a problem. However my gut feeling is this might have been a problem with the version of the exiv library in Kubuntu at the time, which is used by Gwenview to read the image metadata.
