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

[Kyle Altendorf]

Screenshot:
http://fstab.net/digikam/digiKam_calendar_view_properties.png

Creation and modification times are both listed as October 25, 2010
under the thumbnail as is the date in the properties view.  In case
it's useful the original image is available at:

http://fstab.net/digikam/DSCI0682.JPG

There are other images acting similarly, I have just selected this one
as a particular example.  digiKam may have been open when the images
were copied (outside of digiKam) to this computer on the 25th.

Cheers,
-kyle
