<br>
I have a somehow strange problem: wrong Created Times are shown, replicable, <br>
but only for a certain user.<br>
<br>
Since at least a week or so, digikam shows "wrong" times in thumbnail view, <br>
which results in a wrong sorting.<br>
<br>
E.g. I have a picture which shows 02.03.12 01:00<br>
The properties tab on the right shows Created 02.03.12 01:00 (wrong)<br>
The metadata tab shows for EXIF:<br>
Date and Time 02.03.12 13:53:45 (correct)<br>
Date and Time (digitized) 02.03.12 13:53:45 (correct)<br>
Date and Time (original) 02.03.12 01:00:00 (wrong)<br>
for IPTC:<br>
Date Created 2012-03-02<br>
Digitization Date 2012-03-02<br>
Time Created 13:53:45+00:00 (correct)<br>
<br>
Interestingly, if I look at my different album folders, not all pictures are <br>
affected; in typical folders, about 30 - 60% show wrong times. Most folders <br>
are affected, but not all.<br>
<br>
The wrong times is 01:00:00 for most of the pictures, but 02:00:00 is shown as <br>
well, other times are not shown. It seem to be folder-specific, i.e. in a <br>
certain album folder it's either 01:00:00 or 02:00:00.<br>
<br>
If I rebuild digikam's databases (by renaming the old ones) I get the same <br>
wrong times (especially the wrong one in the thumbnail view).<br>
<br>
But if I copy the image (and its xmp sidecar file) to a new (test) user on the <br>
same machine and he imports it (new digikam setup), the correct time (13:53) <br>
is shown for this different user.<br>
<br>
I realized this behaviour about a week ago but didn't use digikam for some <br>
weeks before. But I don't think this happened before (I'd noticed it), but if <br>
I look at different album folders I get the impression that and increasing <br>
number is affected. My system is Debian Stable, with digikam 5.3.0.<br>
<br>
If I check with exiftool, I correctly get<br>
Date/Time Original : 2012:03:02 13:53:45<br>
Sub Sec Time Original : 00<br>
Date/Time Original : 2012:03:02 13:53:45.00<br>
(but why is it reported twice?)<br>
<br>
All files are on the same disk.<br>
<br>
What could be the reason for this weird behavior? Thank you for your support!<br>
<br>
No, I didn't drink too much beer or wine for the current high temperatures <br>
here in continental Europe...<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
