Created attachment 132986 [details] dolphin screen print the sort order by date photographed is not working because the fetched exif data is wrong or none existing, at least it is an empty field for dolphin the exif data used should be "Original date and time" System: Host: hm-neon Kernel: 5.9.1-hmich-tl-1.88 x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: KDE Plasma 5.20.2 Distro: KDE neon 20.04 5.20 CPU: Topology: Quad Core model: AMD Phenom 9550 bits: 64 type: MCP L2 cache: 2048 KiB Speed: 1100 MHz min/max: 1100/2200 MHz Core speeds (MHz): 1: 1100 2: 1100 3: 2200 4: 1100 Graphics: Device-1: NVIDIA GK208 [GeForce GT 710] driver: nouveau v: kernel Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.8 driver: modesetting unloaded: fbdev,vesa tty: N/A OpenGL: renderer: NVD9 v: 4.3 Mesa 20.0.8
Created attachment 133007 [details] Screenshot These don't look like photos from a camera, more files downloaded from the internet. I checked on files I grabbed from my phone (via Google Photos website) and they have the date captured. Can you please confirm on photos taken from your camera or phone, thanks.
Status update.
well, that's a pretty bad assumption ... I have no idea about cellphones but about professional câmeras I know a lot, this specially are from my SONY but the original date stamp is in that field I wrote before, but other cameras should have the same because EXIF data is a common standard I don't know which data is actually queried because there are several, but only the "Original date and time" is which doesn't change by editing, copying or whatever

Most digital cameras have fairly standard naming with numbers for each photo. Are you able to copy a freshly taken picture from your Sony camera onto the PC to test?
Created attachment 133048 [details] dolphin sort order empty photographed date sure, here it is
(In reply to Michael from comment #5) > Created attachment 133048 [details] > dolphin sort order empty photographed date > > sure, here it is Does exiftags -i ~/Path/to/your/image.jpg show the "Image Created" date/time? You'll have to install this, it's a command line tool.
wold be a good idea to install it together with dolphin when it depends on it ... anyway it is the wrong date tag the correct date tage would be "Image Generated" which you get with exiftags -a, image digitized often is equal to image generated but also can be later when there is any in-camera program running for whatever, also when sot in burst mode (series) then a lot of images might be buffered before going digitized all other not generated date tags could be change later after any digital manipulation in camera or computer now what matters even if I have exiftags installed it does not show the "other date" in dolphin like you could see in the last image I uploaded yesterday
exiftags isn't a dependency of dolphin, it's just a tool I was using to confirm if the images are providing the data.
ah ok then, if you need anything else let know thanks
@Michael: That "__IMAGES" / "fotos" directory ... is this a mounted network drive or a normal $HOME subdirectory? Can you attach one of the photos to this ticket?
(In reply to Christian Janoff from comment #10) > @Michael: > > That "__IMAGES" / "fotos" directory ... is this a mounted network drive or a > normal $HOME subdirectory? > > Can you attach one of the photos to this ticket? it is just another partition on the same HD but I also use external drives in a few minutes comes the image, I will send one original as it comes from the camera and the same picture edited, you can see what changes are between both
too big for attaching, so the links to them on google drive camera file https://drive.google.com/file/d/1b50OI8yUrZeImN0oFEjWv5vod1FlKL5I/view?usp=sharing same file edited https://drive.google.com/file/d/119mYXzo2_H4aboj7PvZuxZ_-jgggsq9P/view?usp=sharing thanks
