Date and Time on importing



Hi,

There is a strange behaviour of f-spot. I import my RAW images from the camera or card reader and f-spot takes the date. You know, I don't like the date handling like f-spot does it but anyway, at this time all more or less correct.

If I convert the RAWs to JPGs, the JPGs are saved automatically in the same directory. Then I reimport the JPGs to f-spot (with my own extension, with dragging and dropping or just going to [Import] and selecting the right directory).

The exif dates in those JPGs is the same as the RAW date, I checked this. But f-spot uses different dates. I have, for example, a few converted JPGs taken on May, 1st (2008). F-Spot stores them in 2008/05/07 and displays this date. Then there is one taken on April, 29th. F-Spot takes the date as 5/4/2008. I can reimport the photos on another day and this does not change.

What is happening here?
Why is the exif date kind of ignored?
Why don't use just the exif date to display and order the photos?

Regards
Paul.
