           Summary: digikam: setting file date/time stamp refused, with
                    umlauts or prior file movements
           Product: digikam
           Version: 1.2.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Metadata
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: mifireg at gmx.de


Version:           1.2.0 (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

When adapting the "file change date" among other metadata (or without changing
the other metadata at least) (adding 1 hour, or setting file-date =
digikam-date) by Menu->Picture->Chance Date/Time it happened in some folders,
that a information-window appeared, saying: No change of timestamp possible.
Unfortunately without naming the reason or specific error message (due to
access rights - whatsoever).

I suppose one of two possible reasons:
1. If the albums name (not the file's name) has umlauts (ä,ö,ü), then the
timestamp change will fail. When I changed the albums names into one without
umlauts it worked.

2. Prior to the change command, I started digicam, moved some folders (=albums)
into the digicam aware "Bilder"-Directory and then started the operation in
some of the moved and some of the older unmoved directories. Maybe only in the
cases, where a prior movement has taken place, the timestamp change fails.

The stdout output says:
mf at hai:~/Bilder$ digikam(9047)/digikam (core): Got wrong change event for index
with row  -1 , column  -1  and parent  QModelIndex(-1,-1,0x0,QObject(0x0) )  in
model  Digikam::AbstractCheckableAlbumModel(0x2afece0) . Ignoring it. 
digikam(9047)/digikam (core): Got wrong change event for index with row  -1 ,
column  -1  and parent  QModelIndex(-1,-1,0x0,QObject(0x0) )  in model 
Digikam::AbstractCheckableAlbumModel(0x2aff770) . Ignoring it. 
digikam(9047)/digikam (core): Got wrong change event for index with row  -1 ,
column  -1  and parent  QModelIndex(-1,-1,0x0,QObject(0x0) )  in model 
Digikam::AbstractCheckableAlbumModel(0x37550e0) . Ignoring it. 
digikam(9047)/digikam (core) Digikam::CollectionScanner::scanAlbum: Folder does
not exist or is not readable:  "/home/mf/Bilder/Geburtstag/DSC_1508.JPG" 

But maybe that's another error message from something else.


Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Have digikam aware directory and other directory containing pictures.
start digikam, so watching of the digikam aware directory starts
move folder into digicam aware directory
try to change metadata timestamp by adding 1 hour based on
digcam-internal-timestamp. As result, the creation date and the change date
should differ by 1 hour.
Then try to change only the last change date to 0 hours based on the
digkam-internal-date.
(maybe you can skip the last steps by only changing the picture file change
date)
then error message shall occur.
Removing the umlauts or having digikam started after movements of folders
should avoid the problem.

Try this for folder with umlauts and without.
