[KPhotoAlbum] kphotoalbum reads the wrong date from EXIF

[Jesper K. Pedersen]

I believe I have this issue fixed now. Could you please send me the command 
line you used for exiv2 to edit the files, so I can test my changes.

Cheers
Jesper.

|
| 2. strange mix of date and time: set the date only (not the time) in the
| DateTime field: kphotoalbum will load the date from the exif field and the
| time from the file timestamp.
