Hello,
The support for RAW+JPEG pairing when importing from a folder in version
0.11.x is very welcome. This has always been a nuisance when I have
evaluated open-source photo managers in the past.
Unfortunately I still can't quite use the current Shotwell version
(0.11.6) for everything I need. I have a large number of photos from my
Nikon D70, all shot in raw+JPEG mode, but in some cases the date or time
was not set correctly on the camera. With Shotwell I can adjust the EXIF
data in the original files for JPEG but not for the raw (NEF) versions.
What I did:
- Import some photos from a directory:
Have tried just JPEG, just NEF, and matching NEF+JPEG files.
Behaviour is the same whether I copy them or import in place.
- Select the photos, go to Photos -> Adjust Date and Time...
- Adjust the date and time, select "Modify original files", click "OK".
What I expect:
- The EXIF data in the files on disk (as checked with exiftool) should
be updated with the adjusted date and time.
What I observe:
- If only JPEG files are imported, the EXIF data is adjusted correctly
- If only NEF files are imported, the EXIF data is not adjusted
- If NEF+JPEG matching files are imported, and the Developer is
"Shotwell", the EXIF data is not adjusted in either file type.
- If NEF+JPEG matching files are imported, and the Developer is
changed to "Camera" before the date and time are adjusted, the
EXIF data is changed in the JPEG files but not in the NEF files.
Is this a known problem? I can't see it in the tracker. What are the
chances of a fix in the near future?
Cheers,
Ben
