Data migration/import problem

[Andreas Schleth]

Hi Per,

The fuzzy date can be entered as "2.1.1945 12:00" to "30.12.1946 12:00"
or so.
You need to check the box "fuzzy date" in the annotation dialog to get
two date/time inputs.

It is always a good idea *not* to use 1.1. and 31.12. as the limits.
Then the date bar would show the image also in the adjoining years.

After you have tried it interactively, you can easily inspect the
index.xml to see, how it looks in XML.

Best regards, Andreas
