[Shotwell] Timezone problem with films?

[Jim Nelson]

According to qtdump, the creation_time and modification_time of the file are
the same, 2011-01-04 14:17:05, which is what Shotwell 0.8 displays here in
California.  Converting to Paris time (
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converted.html?month=1&day=4&year=2011&hour=14&min=15&sec=0&p1=224&p2=195)
is 11:17PM of the same day, which is 23:17.

I suspect the time/date is being set correctly in the thumbnail EXIF data
and not in the video file itself.  (I'm assuming the thumbnail is a separate
JPEG on your camera.)  This could be verified by examining the thumbnail
file directly.  If Shotwell won't download it, you can attach the camera and
let Nautilus mount it, then find the file and copy it on your local
filesystem.

(For those interested, the video can be found here:
