So if you are using Linux and updated file stamps you lost chronological order in the file browser (nautilus, etc.) Windows keeps both "date created" and "date modified" as well as its file explorer allows users to sort files by any date including exif date taken.</div><div>So if you are a Linux user you get harmed by digikam for not going through all the options in the beginning. You can fix the dates using exiftool (exiv2 will probably do that too) but that's at least 30 min of your life you will never get back. </div><div><br></div><div id="composer_signature"><div style="font-size:85%;color:#575757" dir="auto">Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.</div></div><div><br></div><div style="font-size:100%;color:#000000"><!-- originalMessage --><div>-------- Original message --------</div><div>From: cerp <cerp@eeos.biz> </div><div>Date: 2017-01-14 8:25 AM (GMT-07:00) </div><div>To: Remco Viëtor <remco.vietor@wanadoo.fr> </div><div>Cc: digiKam - Home Manage your photographs as a professional with the power of open source <digikam-users@kde.org> </div><div>Subject: Re: digikam default options </div><div><br></div></div>It is digikam that changes the timestamp, not the filesystem.
