[Shotwell] shotwell wrong event dates

[Xavi Viader]

Hi all,
I've recently submitted to this discussion because I'm having a "silly"
problem with event dates. I found that you had already disccused that (see
below) but I'm still having this problem importing photos. I'm using
shotwell 0.10.1.

 When I import 'in place' (from a local folder) some all event dates are
wrong almost 25 days before, even in some cases I got a repeated
date...anyway I saw an email (below) saying that you weren't able to
reproduce it (email from antoni). This issue has happened to me always
(Ubuntu 10.04,10.10 and 11.04).  Could it be a matter of system language?
Please let me know whatever you think could be and help other people with de
same problem.

thanks a lot for any help

Hi Antoni,

Two of us at Yorba -- one engineer running Ubuntu Natty and another
running Ubuntu Maverick -- have tried to reproduce your issue and
we've been unable to. Whenever we import the photo you sent, it's
placed in the correct (May 10th) event. Perhaps someone else on the
mailing list has seen a problem like this before and could chime in?

Cheers,
Lucas
