Version: 0.7.0-cvs (using KDE 3.3.0, (3.1)) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.4 (Debian 1:3.3.4-7) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.5-1-k7 I copied the images from one computer to the other, without keeping the system date (yeah, that was stupid). It would be nice if digikam could change the date of the album to the exif date of the first image in the album. Maybe in the properties of the album or as a batch process.
Yes, this would be a welcome feature - currently setting album's date to the EXIF date of first image is what I perform manually each time I create a new album. Album properties dialog would a good place for a button performing this task automatically.
This is implemented by me and will be part of digiKam 0.7.3
Note that the Summary says: "date of first image" First in my PTP folder is curve.ntc its date is 1 january 1970 00.59.58 (close to seconds=0) - this is not an image, it should not affect the date Name: curve.ntc Catalog: /special Readrights: unknown Writerights: unknown Date: 1970-01-01 00.59.59 Size: 16 777 216 Tibyte (-1) MIME-type: (none) Width: unknown Height: unknown Downloaded: unknown A problem is that NEF files looks like this Namn: RLN_0377.NEF Catalog: /store_00010001/DCIM/100ND200 Date: 2006-04-27 14.56.08 Size: 15.9 Mibyte MIME-type: application/x-unknown (other fields as for curve.ntc) I wonder where the MIME-type comes from - camera? Maybe use MIME/file-types as specified in the Digikam settings?
It seems that implementing http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145743 would automatically solve this issue (only use dates of images files)
Is this bug still valid?
I don't use digikam anymore.
