[gthumb-list] Current time for imports (patch)



Hi,

while gthumb-2.10 calculated a folder name once for an import, the new
gthumb calculates the destination for every file individually. This
can lead to possibly unexpected behavior if you use "current time" and
"custom" with an format like the old one (%Y-%m-%d--%H.%M.%S), because
you now get a new folder every second... The attached patch tries to
change this (hopefully in a sane way...) by setting an
import_start_time at the beginning of the import and using this as the
"current time" for the complete import.

BTW, I looked into this because of a blog post (and my ensuing
discussion with the author) that I stumbled upon on Planet Ubuntu:
http://q-funk.blogspot.com/2010/03/gthumb-thank-you-for-breaking-my.html

Something unrelated: Current gthumb does not seem to be able to
extract any metadata from my image (like shutter speed, original
date,... ) - is this a known regression (at least I think 2.10 did
show all the metadata)?

Thanks, best
 Marcel
