Bug ID: 491390
Summary: Videos not sorted into albums created by date when
importing
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version: unspecified
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: Import-Albums
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: kde.graceless...@passinbox.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When downloading items via Import > Add images with automatic album creation by
date, videos are not sorted correctly.
I guess this is because videos lack EXIF metadata, but often have other
metadata including a date, such as RIFF for AVI videos. It would be nice if
digiKam could fallback to this when sorting videos into albums by date.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
I don't think this is actually a bug and rather an improvement, but here is
what I did:
1. Open the Import Tool (Import > Add Images)
2. Select a folder containing videos (AVI with RIFF in my case)
3. Configure automatic creation of albums by date on the right
4. Click Download All
5. Videos with a correct date in the RIFF metadata are treated as if they were
taken right now (and thus are sorted into the wrong album)
OBSERVED RESULT
digiKam uses the current date as opposed to the correct date in the RIFF
metadata.
EXPECTED RESULT
digiKam prioritizes file metadata (RIFF in this case) over the current date and
sorts the videos into the correct album by the date they were shot.
