Hi Gilles,

are you mad when I still complain? :-)
IMHO, DateTimeDigitized should not be changed by Digikam, according to the EXIF spec. For digital cameras it does not matter, but for analog pictures that were scanned it does, since these specify two different values.

I propose the following:
If DateTimeOriginal and DateTimeDigitized are identical before Digikam changes them, update both. If they differ, only set DatetimeOriginal. This should be compatible with your idea in comment #2, but still retain the information when the pictures were scanned (as in my case).

If you are OK with this, I will prepare another patch. Then, I will look at some other bug reports of Digikam to help you out. :-)

Thanks :-)

Jens
