--- Comment #4 from Marcel Wiesweg <marcel.wiesweg at gmx.de> ---
Apparently both Exif and Xmp support incomplete dates. The data structure which
we use, QDateTime, does not. There would be several involved to properly solve
this wish:

1) General support
 - add a QDateTime derived class to libkexiv2 which support incomplete dates
2) Reading
- add two methods which properly parse incomplete XMP and Exif date strings as
described in the relevant specifications
- use these in getImageDateTime
3) Writing
- add methods to format incomplete date strings
- adapt setImageDateTime
4) check database support, probably need to adapt parsing and formatting
5) Support in digikam's UI
6) Support for writing in the edit widgets
