Don't think so, there aren't any flames. Or at least I didn't found them.

Me, too. 1.0 is more or less far future. 0.6 is next. Without time 
handling fix.

There is a "no change" option. In the preferences you can tell f-spot 
not to write any metadata to the files, just in the db. So at least the 
files won't be messed up.

I'll write a "fix date" extension some of those days if I have time, 
which mainly will use the RAW time to correct the JPG time and if there 
is no RAW and the photo was taken by a digital camera, the digitized 
time will be used.
