[Bug 175191] Re: f-spot changes timestamp in an incorrect way
Well I am a more than a little confused... So I see that F-Spot does not appear to change the exif information of my pictures but importing them still causes the time shift on the date/time when viewed in the program and in the creation of the folder archive. This is a very minor improvement to me. Why hasn't this been taken all the way home? I have 0.6.1.5-2ubuntu6 installed and I assume 0.6.1.5-2ubuntu5 does this the same way. Steve, does your PPA's version behave the same as it did before 0.6.1.5-2ubuntu5? That was rational. I think I will try it again.

The current fix in Ubuntu's released version doesn't entirely solve the problem. It *is* solved in 0.6.2, the new upstream release. They essentially just incorporated the same patch my PPA package uses into the mainline code. I will attempt to keep my PPA packages up to date as time permits, until 0.6.2 is in Ubuntu.

It looks to me like this could be fixed by simply not writing out EXIF.OriginalDateTime to the first version of the file (named Original) imported by F-Spot.

[Bug 175191] Re: f-spot changes timestamp in an incorrect way
As far I understood, developers want enforce an absolute order in the photo collection, so that photos are displayed in real shoot order (a photo taken at 1.00 PM in London would be displayed after a photo taken at 1.30 PM in Rome). Is that useful? I think it is completely not: (almost) no one travel so fast and have time to shoot photos... I think it is just the classical linux nerd thing, like the ones that scared normal users for years: plainly a LACK OF COMMON SENSE. The proof is that no other photo manager (think Picasa...) does a crazy thing like this. Isn't Ubuntu Linux for human beings? Developers, anyway, are completely deaf to a critical bug standing there from 2006 (they just say we are thinking about a good solution; in the meantime they corrupt user data...) (RANTand just to mention the care they have for users base, take a look to LP #204011/RANT). As Delcroix himself wrote upstream (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340903#c4) whatever the part of the world the photo is shot, when I shoot a clock saying 'it's noon', f-spot should say 'the photo was shot at noon'. I guess the majority (almost all?) of users set their camera to local time, so the common sense suggests to leave things unchanged; but of course I can imagine that a nerd sets its camera to UTC... (go to supermarket, ask someone What's UTC?, then take a photo of his face; obviously, set your camera to UTC...). Implication in changing the code I can guess: - corrupted photos would stay corrupted, of course; - new photos would be correctly imported. Possible solution to fix things: 1. delete the entire database, fix photos tags copying EXIF CreateDate to DateTimeOriginal, as suggested in comment 27 and then reimport all photos; 2. fix photos tags and then fix the database accordingly (data displayed in F-Spot are read from db, not directly from EXIF). In both cases, likely the directory tree would become inconsistent (somehow related to LP #63393); so maybe the best thing would be: 1. move the entire tree 2. delete the db 3. fix tags 4. reimport all photos with copy option on 4. delete the old (moved an duplicated) tree Yes, I know, it is quite invasive... But the more time passes, worse things will get. Simple alternative would be leave alone damages done and fix things only for future imports. There are (small?) chances of misordered photos in the boundary time, but that would be limited to a few hours interval. -- f-spot changes timestamp in an incorrect way https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175191 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 175191] Re: f-spot changes timestamp in an incorrect way
Today I found this open letter (http://daniel- bartholomew.com/wordpress/2009/10/f-spot-considered-harmful/) to F-spot devs. Perhaps it is time to address this issue. To whom it may concern, Data corruption is ALWAYS a critical problem but you list bugs 340903 and 454082 as “UNCONFIRMED” with a severity and priority of “Normal”. UNCONFIRMED? Normal? Who are you kidding? Data corruption is always critical and these bugs are years old and have been confirmed in your own bugzilla by dozens of users. Regardless of whatever reason you had for introducing this stupid date- changing “feature”, you never change EXIF data unless the user expressly tells you to. That’s basic common courtesy. You’ve known about this issue for over three years. You need to grow up, acquire a clue, and fix F-Spot’s terrible and destructive behavior. Yesterday. Until then I will distrust F-Spot and anyone who says it is anywhere close to being a good, decent, or even “ok” photo manager. You and others keep telling me that F-Spot is awesome, that F-Spot is great, that it is the best Linux photo manager. I no longer believe you. From now on F-Spot is not getting anywhere near my photos. I’ve written about you before but I take all the good things I said then back. I was younger, more impressionable, and foolish. But those are just excuses. The fact is I was wrong. Yes, you appear to have some nice features, but your core has some rotten bits and I don’t eat rotten apples (even if only bits of them are rotten), I throw them away.

[Bug 175191] Re: f-spot changes timestamp in an incorrect way
The exiftool method is what I used to fix my corruption. Unfortunately I had some photos that had already been adjusted because my camera had the wrong date set for quite a long time. I forget the exact steps I took, but the end result was all of my photos being off by at least a couple hours. Stupidity on my part mostly. In short, if you use the exiftool tip, make sure the CreateDates are sane to begin with. -- f-spot changes timestamp in an incorrect way https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175191 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 175191] Re: f-spot changes timestamp in an incorrect way
I had some thoughts on this earlier today, as I was manually correcting the timestamp on about 2,000 photos that F-Spot chose to corrupt for me. I'm commenting here because I believe that something should be done about this in Ubuntu until upstream comes up with a solution. I'm not holding my breath, because I distinctly remember running into this problem back in about 2006. Looking at the upstream bug, it looks like this has been open for at least that long. Upstream doesn't seem to have a clear idea of what to do about this, and they seem to have rejected the obvious (to me) solution of not touching the timestamp. I'd love to see a checkbox; Modify timestamps during import? Barring that, however, there are patches available to F-Spot to cause it not to modify timestamps. Is it possible for Ubuntu to distribute F-Spot with one of these patches applied? At the very least, I'm going to study up on deb packaging and see if I can't roll my own patched F-Spot package. I don't mean to stir up any trouble here, but some noise needs to be made about this, and something needs to get done. -- f-spot changes timestamp in an incorrect way https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175191 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 175191] Re: f-spot changes timestamp in an incorrect way
Is anything being done about this? F-Spot is touted as a major feature of Ubuntu: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/810features/photos/ but this bug ruins date and time data attached to imported photos, and for good. It makes F-Spot completely unusable for me since I want this information intact. I imagine there are few, if any, people who feel differently. It seems as though this should be considered of High importance at the Gnome bug-list, yet there's been no activity at all. That is, as far as I can tell. I see the attachments at the bottom of the Gnome Bugzilla page but don't know what to make of them. It looks like the first step is to elevate the Priority and Severity of the bug: http://live.gnome.org/Bugsquad/TriageGuide#head-a30bd0d8437bffda426b7aba01a1f9ac32acb0c5 Is that right? Or perhaps it would be better to drop into the #bugs IRC channel to see if I can generate some discussion on this topic: http://developer.gnome.org/projects/bugsquad/ Anyway, if there's any way I can help please let me know.

[Bug 175191] Re: f-spot changes timestamp in an incorrect way
I believe we have actually two bugs here: 1) some dates aren't converted correctly when displayed, and 2) the EXIF DateTimeOriginal is modified even though f-spot should never modify it automatically. Now, 1 is annoying but not really that bad, whereas 2 is what corrupts the user's data and is thus quite bad. -- f-spot changes timestamp in an incorrect way https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175191 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
