[Shotwell] Timezone problem with films?

[shuihuzhuan at free.fr]

Hi,

As I said in my previous mail, the thumbnail generated by the camera in a separated JPEG file is detected at the right time (10:17PM localtime). So it may be a bug in the camera firmware that doesn't correctly set the time in the film :-< 
I could live with that if I could change the time of films in shotwell, but it's impossible for now. Is it a planned feature? 
I don't see a ticket for that.

Thanks

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: http://trac.yorba.org/attachment/wiki/AVISamples/P1020237.MOV )

Hi, 

I've put a sample file (P1020237.MOV Panasonic DMC-TZ7). It was taken at 22:17 (localtime) and sorted as 23:17 by shotwell. The thumbnail for the film generated by the camera is correctly seen as 22:17. 

I don't find a timezone parameter when configuring the time and date of the camera, though there seems to be some notions of it for "planned travel". However the default choice indicated for the starting place is GMT+1 so I suppose the configuration is ok. I'll need to check the notice to be sure. 

If it's a real bug and not a misconfiguration of my camera I'll open a bug. 

Thanks for your help.
