but *you* are doing what you believe darktable should never do, altering the original raw file. exiftool changing the DateTimeOriginal *is* altering the original raw file and may cause you lose of data by altering the original. I adjust the filename to reflect DateTimeOriginal. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode What sort of day was it?
