Date modification using menu "captions/tags" from the right side bar In this menu in tab "Description" there is the possibility to enter a date. The date format is dd/mm/yy hh:mm The date with the 2 digit format is sometimes changed from 1995 to 2095 unintentionally. This happens when e.g. the date set incorrectly to e.g. Assigned date: 01/07/1995, visible date 01/07/95 Assume 1 july ( 01/07 ) was wrong and should have been 14 july. So change 01/07/95 to 14/07/95. Looks OK, but at the same time the year was changed from 1995 to 2095! This is not wanted! Sect 2: please add seconds To make it possible to have photos displayed in the chronological order make it possible to add seconds in this time field. I use the utility 'exiftool' to have seconds added to the EXIF field in the photos. It's a pity that it is not possible via this GUI date/time filed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Digikam 2. Open a photo with the date set to 01/07/1995 ( 1 July ) 3. Modify the day from 01 to e.g. 14 using the Date field in the "captions/tags" menu from the right side bar ( in the tab Description ) Sect 2: seconds 1. See the time field, it is not possible to enter seconds in the field Actual Results: Not only the day is changed from 01 to 14, but the year is also changed from 1995 to 2095 Sect 2: seconds 1. It is not possible to enter seconds in the time field Expected Results: The year information should remain unchanged. Sect 2: seconds 1. It is now possible to enter seconds in the time field besides hours:minutes ( thus hh:mm:ss ) Screenshot will be added

Thanks for the quick fix! I hope that 5.0 becomes quickly available for openSUSE.
