[Digikam-users] Calendar view - not sorting by EXIF date

[Kyle Altendorf]

I just started working with digiKam (again) and have tried both v1.4.0
and v1.5.0 (from the philip5 ppa) in Kubuntu Maverick and neither
version's calendar view seems to be working off of the EXIF date.
When I select, for example, 2010 -> October I get a bunch of images
from this month but also some that have creation and modification
dates this month but EXIF dates from various other times.  The
documentation states that:

"digiKam uses either the EXIF date or, if no EXIF date is available,
the last modification time of the file."
http://docs.kde.org/development/en/extragear-graphics/digikam/using-kapp.html#using-mydatesview

but that is not what I am observing.  A screenshot is available at:

In that shot you can see the calendar view selection (October 2010),
the modification and creation dates (October 25, 2010), and the EXIF
date (December 23, 2007).

Is there any option for this now or does the documentation need to be
updated?  Thanks for the great software and any help you can offer on
this matter.

Cheers,
