Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: shotwell
Today I took a series of photos of a boy riding a scooter. I used my
camera's Sport mode, which can shoot around 3 - 4 frames per second.
When I loaded them into Shotwell, I noticed that a number of photos were
incorrectly sorted; frames that I shot later appeared earlier in the
sequence and vice versa.
Looking at the metadata, each photo is time stamped only to the nearest
second, so to Shotwell, images taken in quick succession (in the same
second) appear to have been taken at the same time; it has no way to
distinguish which was actually taken first.
I think one solution to this issue would be to sort by file name if
images have identical time stamps. I think most cameras create
sequential file names - mine has IMG_4145.JPG...IMG4145.JPG and so forth
for example.
