<p>Hello,</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Happy user of kphotoalbum for many years - and having a (hopefully) minor issue at the moment.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I have a number of photos where dates of photos are suddenly not saved in the kphotoalbum database. That is, the exif date exists in the photo and is read properly - and the correct date appears in the annotations - but when I hit save, it is saved with no date - and no date is in the annotations when I open kphotoalbum again.
</p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">In the saved database: startDate=""</p>

<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">-I tried creating a new database, using 5.4.2 (on Debian 10) with these problematic photos and others - and the same photos had issues: Date ok in Annotations - but then blank when saved. Other photos ok.</p>
<p style=" margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">-Same issue with 6.2.1 on Lubuntu 20.04 (via virtual box)</p>
<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">-This happens with a few files from a few different cameras - but not all photos from any camera.</p>
<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">-Noticed it when I moved from 4.7.1 to 5.4.2 - and the dates on these files were lost. (had been in DB, but dates removed when saved in 5.4.2)</p>
<p style="-qt-paragraph-type:empty; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px; -qt-block-indent:0; text-indent:0px;">-Seems strange that dates cannot be saved for certain photos?!? I can send sample files - from same camera if it would help.
