The xmp file contains Epoch time information. E. g:
darktable:import_timestamp="1614867405"
darktable:change_timestamp="-1"
darktable:export_timestamp=""1614868405
darktable:print_timestamp="-1"
The time information is altered whenever a picture is exported. I. e. not modified, only exported to
jpg file for presentation.
In case of backing up files into archives, this results in different xml file contents whenever a
picture has been exported and in errors when archive versions are compared/checked (md5sum-ing).
Questions:
1: Is there any way in darktable to avoid timestamp registration when only
exporting or printing?
2: Is it "dangerous" to force export_- and print_timestamps to "-1" by writing an external script
that modifies all xml files before archiving (and export/print time information is unimportant for
the user)?
3: Any other suggestions?
