Description David Prieto 2007-02-28 09:17:08 UTC 
EXIF metadata is supposed to be updated when you change the picture information, but date changes are not saved. This is what I did:

1- Imported a single file to f-spot. I tried this method both copying the picture to the Photos folder, and not.

2- Used edit → change time to change the date of the picture.

3- Removed the picture from the catalogue.

4- Imported the same file again.

5- It showed the original date, not the one I had set. This should not be the expected behaviour.

There you are, it was a random one because any picture I throw at it will give the same results.

This is a screenie of f-spot after importing the file: http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/8553/pantallazofspotlq9.png

This is after changing the date: http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/654/pantallazofspot1dn1.png

And this is after deleting it and adding it again: http://img485.imageshack.us/img485/2906/pantallazofspot2sl9.png
