Hello,

when changing the picture date in the right-side "Comments & Tags" sidebar, Digikam is supposed to also change DateTimeOriginal (EXIF) and respective IPTC tags.

However, this only works if these tags existed previously. If they do not exist (e.g. my negative scanner only sets DateTimeDigitized, since it does not know about when the pic was taken), it is not added.

I would appreciate if this could be fixed. Also, I would like the value from the date to be automatically set in the file's mtime, or better yet, ctime (creation time) in the file system, if that's possible.

Thanks! :)

Jens
