           Summary: replace add and substract in "adjust time and date" menu
                    with positive/negative times
           Product: digikam
           Version: 0.9.1
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: aboelens engin umass edu


Version:           0.9.1 (using KDE 3.5.6, Debian Package 4:3.5.6.r1.dfsg.1-2 (4.0))
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.18

When you want to adjust the time and date of a photo using the "adjust time and date" menu, one has to choose to add or substract a number of months, days, hours, etc. Wouldn't it be more intuitive to only have "add" and work with negative times?

This approach has also the advantage that you can combine addition and substraction. So instead of adding, for example, 3 months and 30 days, it would be possible to add 4 months minus 1 day.

Cheers,
