[Digikam-users] dates in video files

Hello. I am having some problems with the dates for video (*.avi) files.

For instance, I have a particular video file that shows (once we 
configure digikam to show the file modification date for thumbnails) the 
date 2006-01-28 16:35. Now, if I use the File Browser and look at the 
files properties I have the dates 2006-01-19 19:59:48 as the Modified 
date (the time the picture was taken), 2006-02-11 11:47:37 as the 
Accessed date (I just looked at the file today), and 2006-01-28 16:36:01 
as the Last Changed date (the time the file was moved from the camera to 
the desktop). If I go to the folder the file is and do a ls -l I get:
-rwxr-xr-x  1 lmpmbernardo lmpmbernardo 11702008 Jan 19 19:59 imgp1315.avi

The question is then, a) why is Digikam using the "Last Changed" date 
instead of the "Modified" date, and/or b) how can I force it to show the 
"Modified" date.

Also, for some reason this does not happen for all video files. I think 
the problem happens if I have Digikam launched and showing the album 
where I am moving the video files to as I do the file transfer. I also 
used the mv command to move the files from the camera to the desktop.

Thanks,
Luis
