I am currently working on a patch for bug# 329040, which describes exactly this. The bug you opened (412674) looks like a duplicate and should be closed. After I attach the patch, try it out and see if it works as you would like. > The second thing is, there's something wrong with my camera and it saves > all pictures as taken on 1/1/2002.

There should be a utility to "re-import" photos based on updated exif data. Perhaps this should be packaged with the batch rename functionality (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302566 ... btw is anyone still working on this?) It would also be nice if you could specify to import to a folder based on the day they are imported, rather than the exif data. > So, am I doing something wrong here?
