            Bug ID: 315302
           Summary: TimeAdjust is not shown in Gwenview
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kipiplugins
           Version: 3.0.0
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: TimeAdjust
          Assignee: kde-imaging at kde.org
          Reporter: karol.slanina at gmail.com

TimeAdjust has a dependency on KIPI feature "ImagesHasTime" although it doesn't
have to. This prevents it from being shown in other applications than Digikam,
for example in Gwenview.
It would perfectly make sense for TimeAdjust to be enabled in Gwenview, too;
because it is not dependent on application-provided timestamps only. It can use
and/or update any other timestamps such as selected metadata, filesystem etc.

Instead of declaring a dependency on ImagesHasTime, it is better to check if
the current application supports it and if not, only the application timestamp
related controls should be disabled (or made invisible). This means, the
application timestamp should not be usable as the source and it shoud not be
updateable.

I created a patch that makes exactly this change and the plugin just works in
Digikam, as well as in Gwenview.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Gwenview
2. List plugins
3. Go to Images >
Actual Results:  
Adjust Time & Date plugin is not shown

Expected Results:  
The plugin should be shown, but with invisible options to use/update the
nonexistent "Gwenview timestamp"
