Hi all,<br><br>I scanned a bunch of photos (~ 1000 or more), and they all wound up with a default date of 1980. Fair enough. I have changed the exif data on one set of these photos, but when I use the calendar view in Digikam (the left side pane), as opposed to the folder view, the 'folder' year displays as "1980" and the month as "January", when the photos were actually taken in August, 1990. I did try right-clicking on the Year 'folder' in calendar view and even changing the folder properties in the folder view to reflect August 1990. Is it possible to update this side pane, or do I then have to delete the photos and re-add them?<br clear="all">
<br>I was really wanting to change the exif data before importing the images for this very reason, so I would have a "clean" import. I do have reading skills, so if there is already good documentation or an e-mail thread on this issue, feel free to point me to it. I have not yet seen anything that quite touches this subject, but imagine I cannot be the only one who has experienced this.<br>
<br clear="all"><br></blockquote><div>Never mind. After a program restart, it appears to have updated itself automatically. That said, the issue is not addressed in the documentation included with Kubuntu 11.10. Might be nice to have a brief comment that the calendar view auto-updates on program re-start. I also noticed an option under the Album menu that says "Reread metadata from images. Does this update the calendar view, assuming the date/time has been updated in the metadata? Again, it is not included in the current documentation.<br>
