Mikolaj,

Accordinly with BUG #136260, i have add 2 new options (commit # 606713) to 
sync IPTC Creation Date and Date hosted by digiKam database with the Exif 
Create Date.

Pending 4 important questions :

1/ Like Exif Edit Dialog, is this necessary to have the same rule with IPTC 
edit dialog to sync EXIF/JFIF/digiKam comments with IPTC caption tag ?

2/ Like Exif Edit Dialog, is this necessary to have the same rule with IPTC 
edit dialog to sync EXIF/JFIF/digiKam Creation Date with IPTC Creation Date 
tag ?

3/ What do you think about to have an option to sync pictures File timestamp 
(on FS) with Exif Creation Date ?

4/ Like Mass Comment editor option, perhaps to have a Mass Creation Date 
editor is a good idea ? 

In case of 3/ and 4/, is Adjust DateTime plugin is redondant. If I implement 
3/ and 4/, this old plugin will be redondant and obsolete... 

Angelo, i CC you this mail from digikam-devel at kde.org mailing between me and 
Mikolaj Machowski <mikmach at wp.pl>, a digiKam user witch have reported a lots 
of comments about to improve MetadataEdit kipi-plugin.

All comments are welcome...

Gilles
