I've noticed, that digikam uses (in the dates tab) the creation time and date of the image file. IMHO, the EXIF "date and time original" should be used as the only time and date in a program like digikam.

I've found "save image time stamp as tags", but I guess that's the other way around (saving file info to exiv)

Is there a reason why digikam prefers file info instead of exiv info? Images without a exiv date should be listed in an extra list entry.
i.e.
My Dates
- unknown
- 1998
-- January
- 1999
-- March
...

And the metadata setting "Save image time stamp as tags" should also say, that the original exiv date may be lost...
