Nautilus Shows Bad Date/TIme for Images in Properties
Last modified: 2006-05-01 09:38:36 UTC
When one goes to the properties page for an image with exif information, the Date and Time given are those from the exif "DateTime" tag, which holds the most recent modification time, according to the spec and f-spot's behaviour. It would be better if it showed the most pertinent Time information, namely, when an image/photo was taken, as that is what the current "Date Taken" label implies. CC'ing lewing as he showed some interest in this.
Created attachment 59735 [details] [review] Patch to correct DateTime behaviour. This patch shows the DateTime in the following order: - DateTime originally taken - If not present, DateTime digitized - If not present, DateTime modified (DateTime) I have tested it and it works quite well with all of my images.
Comment on attachment 59735 [details] [review] Patch to correct DateTime behaviour. It looks good. We have to wait for a new branch for the strings though.
