[digiKam-users] Issues with Date while importing images

[Maik Qualmann]

The setting is in the digiKam settings under Camera. The text that the 
metadata is not activated is a link, so clickable and leads you almost 
directly there, then you are only one tab away. 

Reading of metadata is deactivated by default for speed reasons, which is 
significantly slower with GPhoto2 driver devices. But it is usable with memory 
card drives.
