--- Comment #12 from freddi34 at yahoo.de ---
Is there any news about this issue? I am also affected, and before I invest
significant time working through my scanned photos to add dates (or having to
rework them later when this issue is fixed) I want to decide for the right
tool. And I would be sad to work-around it with exiftool instead of staying
with digikam.

I think the fact that specifications of Exif/Xmp allow incomplete dates is a
very strong point that the GUI would better reflect this.

If I set the correct incomplete dates with exiftool, can I then later continue
using digikam to manage these photos? Suppose I import these photos (with
incomplete set by exiftool) into the digikam database, how does it handle these
dates? When I update some tags and write them into the image files, will the
dates be affected or overwritten?
