Re: Time handling in F-spot

[Jean Levasseur <levasseur jean gmail com>]

In my POV, allowing the user to manually set the camera time zone would be the best.

The way I see it is:

- using the computer's time zone by default

- having an option to override the computer's time zone to another one.

 

Speaking about import, it woud be nice to be able to set such parameters (as well as assigned tags) on a photo/photo selection basis instead of on all the photos to be imported.

 

Another thing: when I adjust the date of my photos, will f-spot change the directory holding those photos to reflect the change?  If not, that would be nice in order to keep files at their proper place and find them back with some other app.

Once again, I want to bring up the time handling topic in f-spot, as we discussed this lately in irc. For me, it is just annoying that F-Spot is displaying the wrong dates and I have to look at the Exif (of the RAWs, where I can trust they are untouched) to look up the real date.

100% agree.

1. Allowing the user to set the timezone of the camera time on importing the photos.
Summarizing the feedback on IRC: No option, as it would make the import more complicated.

Uh? What's so complicated about that?

2. Not touching the original exif date in any way on importing. Adjusting time and setting time zones could be done then in the adjust time dialog.
Feedback: a) No, this is the "worst option" to fix the time problem, b) This is the right way to do it.

I would prefer 1, but 2 is also reasonable and in any case better than the current approach.
