[Shotwell] Pictures date before 1900 - not possible ?

[Eric Gregory]

Hi Thierry,

It seems there's two issues here:

1. Dates before 1900 aren't correctly handled, I was able to replicate this
and filed a ticket.  Also dates before 1969 are not saved if the metadata is
written in the file.

2. Adjusting the time/date doesn't move the photo to a new event.  This is
already in our bug database:
