<br>
Is your linux method a script you created yourself ? If not, can you give me<br>
the name of tools used ? Maybe i could serach for an windows alternative ..<br>
<br>
So you use the "created date" metadata. Is it generic "file" date or is it a<br>
specific "taken date" tag ?<br>
<br>
Is it planned in next digikam version to reintroduce video file taken date<br>
editing ?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
