Created attachment 178703 [details] Sample photo and metatdata Here's a sample photo with metadata as requested by Meven.
Created attachment 178722 [details] Metadata for previous image These are screenshots of metadata for the previous image. To the right is what's reported through the Information panel in Dolphin and the other two are from jExifToolGui. As you can see, the EXIF metadata for the photo has remained correct throughout but the FILE metadata is all over the shop with both the 'Modified' and 'Accessed' fields showing wildly divergent and implausible values (i.e. accessed before it was even created). The value for 'Created' field for the FILE metadata show the time the image was transferred from the camera and became a file on the computer which I suppose is technically correct. It's of little use though when organising images, particularly from a large shoot, which generally have to be placed in order of the sequence they were shot in. In this regard, the 'Date/Time Original' field from the EXIF data is more valuable and I would submit should be the default field of reference, not FILE.
