[Gimp-user] Editing Photos and Maintaining Exif Information

[Rainer Dorsch <ml bokomoko de>]

Hello,

I usually use digikam for managing my photos collection and gimp to improve 
some photos.

In the past I simply saved under a different name and I had the orignal and the 
"improved" image in my digikam collection next to each other.

Now digikam moves the "improved" photo to the end of the collection.

digikam thinks that Time and Date of the photo changed.

exiv2 is also not happy with the modified IMG_0243b.JPG

Has anybody an idea, what is going wrong now?
