The problem appears to be fixed in the latest Ubuntu release. I reject the "invalidity" of this bug report, though.

When such photos are subsequently imported into Shotwell, the creation/modification of appropriate Shotwell "events" (which appears to require "date taken" EXIF data) does not occur. While the date/time taken are initially available as a last-modified timestamp on the file itself, simple operations on the file (such as adding/removing tags using Shotwell) will result in that information being lost. Minimally useful EXIF data written to these photos would include "date taken." A "software" value (e.g. "Cheese v2.32.0") might also prove handy. $ apt-cache policy cheese cheese: Installed: 2.32.0-0ubuntu2 Candidate: 2.32.0-0ubuntu2 Version table: *** 2.32.0-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/ubuntu/ubuntu/ natty/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 11.04 Release: 11.04 Launchpad is currently rejecting my ubuntu-bug submission.
