Description Yves Gwen 2019-03-20 14:49:28 UTC
Bonjour,

Utilisateur de Digikam depuis quelques années, il y a une "bizarrerie" qui m'échappe !

Lors de l'importation des images, le nom du dossier et la date de l'album sont identiques 

dossier : yyyy-MM-dd-lieu

fichier : [date:"yyyy-MM-dd"]-lieu-#[e]

Date de l'album : identique au dossier

Donc, dans la vue "Albums" (la plus utilisée), les albums s'affichent chronologiquement, ce qui est très pratique.

Et pourtant, je remarque que la date de l'album se modifie (sans intervention directe de ma part) et cela de plusieurs années parfois ! 

("date created" et "digitization date" sont toujours correct dans les IPTC images)

Merci par avance de m'indiquer la marche à suivre pour corriger ce problème !

Cordialement

Yves

I never seen this dysfunction in the past.

Typically the album dir is created on the disk, registered on database, and that all.. Without any change from you, digiKam will no change the album.

What do you mean by the "album date" ? The template string used to name album with time stamp ? The Date album properties which can be show in album properties dialog ?

Which system do you use ? AppIµmage bundle to run digiKam ? Which kind of database ?

In current digiKam versions we have an option in the digiKam settings that controls the updating of the album date. The automatic updating of the album date can also be deactivated. Remember, we are talking about the album date in the database of digiKam, it may differ from the real folder date.
