            Bug ID: 317920
           Summary: Time zone data of IPTC metadata Date Created is
                    unavailable and deleted in MetadataEdit
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kipiplugins
           Version: 3.1.0
          Platform: Debian unstable
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: MetadataEdit
          Assignee: kde-imaging at kde.org
          Reporter: bitfield77 at arcor.de

Time zone information of IPTC Date Created field seems to be unused in
kipiplugins MetadataEdit (and Digikam). Time zone data is correctly displayed
in Digikam's Metadata side panel (e.g. 14:51:32+05:30) but unavailable in the
Edit Metadata window. Even worse, time zone information previously present in
time fields is reset by MetadataEdit  (e.g. 14:51:32+00:00) . 

This behaviour does not comply to IPTC Core and Extension Guidelines:
IPTC Core Image Section - Date Created: "If you are entering a time, you should
include the time zone as well." See
<http://www.iptc.org/std/photometadata/documentation/GenericGuidelines/Documents/iptccoreimagesection.htm>
