[Bug 644125] Re: Date information not imported with jpg files of scanned negatives

2011-01-24 Thread Adam Dingle
Michael, Shotwell 0.8.1 will run on Lucid, but neither the Ubuntu repositories nor the Yorba PPA contain Shotwell 0.8.1 for Lucid - you need to build it yourself. See the instructions on the Yorba web site, and feel free to ask on the Shotwell mailing list if you're having trouble building. --

We've decided that for Shotwell 0.8, we're only going to read the extended timestamp EXIF information from new photos, since rescanning photos that were already imported and updating the database is a fairly large change. However, I've filed a new ticket for the rescan/database update: http://trac

I added a note to our ticket detailing an upgrade scheme that should solve the problem you're describing (thanks for pointing it out). It would prevent you from having to re-import the photos. The only open question is whether or not to create new events for these photos once their DateTime is de

Thanks, Jim. Once the fallback scheme has been implemented, will I have to remove all affected images from the image library and then re-import them? If that's the case, I'll lose all the work I've already done in tagging the files. As the files themselves won't have changed, they'll presumably ap

We've not received much interest in supporting BMP, which is why we've not implemented it. We do have a ticket to add support for it (as well as GIF) here: http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/2154 If you want to continue discussing that feature, that would be a good place to do it. I now definitely thi

I've been reading about the EXIF "standard", and it appears not quite to match up to that description! One problem is that the tags are identified by number within the image file, and different applications attach different descriptions to these numbers. What seems clear is that there are three d

Hi Michael, Thanks for the text files. This verifies my suspicions, that the scanner is using the plain DateTime EXIF tag and not DateTimeDigitized or DateTimeOriginal. If we use a fallback scheme (first looking for DateTimeOriginal, then DateTimeDigitized, then DateTime), this should solve your

Michael, this is ticketed upstream at http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/1212 . We do have mixed feelings, however, about using the file time for sorting/grouping when no EXIF date is present, since we think that for many photos this time will not be relevant. We might allow this as a user option. Se

Looking further into this, I find that although the File Manager appears to report the date of the scan, it's actually reporting the date of change of the file - the scanning software has not included the date of the scan in the EXIF metadata associated with the image. It would still be helpful if
