What date is used when importing images?

[Pioter Gmoter]

Hi

When I import images with this rule:

[date:yyyy-MM-dd_hh.mm.ss]{lower}{unique}.[ext]{lower}

exactly what date is used to make the new name of the image?


The problem was not visible during import from the device which made the photo (camera, phone) but appeared when I was importing using CTRL-ALT-I. So I first copied images using dolphin from mobile phone to my hdd, than imported such images to NAS using digikam. What I have found was that the name of the file had wrong date ie: not the date from the EXIF but the modification date of the file. Is it normal? From my point of view not. The file itself can have bad date, and I'd like to be sure that digikam uses the reliable source of date which means EXIF. So how does  it actually work?


Regards
