The problem that I faced with Shotwell is that some older image editors ignored the camera_date and applied only a processing_date to their output.
I keep my images in a dated folder (both the raw and final), Shotwell however can and does move my material into weird and mysterious places. If I had need to reprocess a file months or years later it may be totally misplaced (lost). I could overcome this if there were a way to 're-date' images in bulk. My only other alternative would be to only use Shotwell for relatively recent material and use another system entirely for early work. Bit of a nuisance! What solution would a Shotwell user find for instance with a large collection of scanned film material?
