So correcting EXIF dates is common usage pattern when having photos
with incorrect infos?  Filename / Ctrl-1 info isn't enough?  Will do.

I've already entered most infos and renamed the files according to the
correct date/time.  It's just that I are a little reluctant to modify
files by writing EXIF infos to them.  As I'm coming from OS/2 I used to
use Extended Attributes for such modifications and kept the originals.
But the use of xattr is not very common in linux :-(

The biggest problem is that I have no negatives, so ordering *without*
a similar EXIF photo is harder.  Having a second set is helping
actually (and it's only 3 films w/o infos).

Thank you for your infos!
