[Digikam-users] date of panoramas

[Mark Alford]

Gilles,

I see that the assigning of dates to panoramas has been posted as a bug
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=342687
This is something I am also experiencing as a problem in digikam 4.12.0
(Fedora 22).

Here is the exiv2 data for a panorama that I just created:

Exif.Image.DateTime                          Ascii      20  2015:08:09 19:58:23
Exif.Photo.DateTimeOriginal                  Ascii      20  2015:08:09 19:58:23
Exif.Photo.DateTimeDigitized                 Ascii      20  2015:07:21 10:16:45
Exif.Image.PreviewDateTime                   Ascii      20  2015:08:09 19:58:23
Iptc.Application2.DateCreated                Date        8  2015-08-09
Iptc.Application2.DigitizationDate           Date        8  2015-07-21
Xmp.xmp.CreateDate                           XmpText    19  2015-08-09T19:58:23
Xmp.xmp.MetadataDate                         XmpText    19  2015-08-09T19:58:23
Xmp.xmp.ModifyDate                           XmpText    19  2015-08-09T19:58:23
Xmp.tiff.DateTime                            XmpText    19  2015-08-09T19:58:23
Xmp.exif.DateTimeOriginal                    XmpText    19  2015:08:09 19:58:23
Xmp.exif.DateTimeDigitized                   XmpText    19  2015-07-21T10:16:45
Xmp.photoshop.DateCreated                    XmpText    19  2015-08-09T19:58:23

You see that for a few fields it remembers the original date
2015:07:21, but for most of the fields, including the ones that digikam
uses to determine the date of the image, it uses the date of creation
of the panorama, 2015-08-09, which is inconvenient for the user.
