            Bug ID: 369636
           Summary: Batch time stamp adjusting causes digikam to crash and
                    destroys photos
           Product: digikam
           Version: 4.14.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: NOR
         Component: BatchQueueManager-Tool-TimeAdjust
          Assignee: digikam-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: developer at limbusdev.de

When correcting the time stamps of photos, the app crashes. The bug was
observed in digiKam 4.12, 4.14 and 5.2.0. Additionally some of the photos get
destroyed in the process, only half images are preserved.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select several photos
2. Open the Tools > Adjust Time and Date dialog
3. choose to overwrite any of the given metadata (exif, iptc)
4. Adjust time correction (only tested adding amount of time)
5. Start batch process
6. Crash
7. Reopen > some photos are destroyed, some have the correct time stamp, some
are unchanged

Actual Results:  
digiKam crashes and some photos are lost or damaged

Expected Results:  
All selected photos should have the chosen time stamp now.

- Ubuntu 16.04 with exiv2 in version 0.25
- additionally tried the most recent digiKam versions of digikam 4 and digikam
5 from a ppa, same problem - maybe rather an exiv2 issue.
