shotwell wrong event dates

Hi all,
I've recently submitted to this discussion because I'm having a "silly"
problem with event dates. I found that you had already disccused that (see
below) but I'm still having this problem importing photos. I'm using
shotwell 0.10.1.

When I import 'in place' (from a local folder) some all event dates are
wrong almost 25 days before, even in some cases I got a repeated
date...anyway I saw an email (below) saying that you weren't able to
reproduce it (email from antoni). This issue has happened to me always
(Ubuntu 10.04,10.10 and 11.04). Could it be a matter of system language?
Please let me know whatever you think could be and help other people with de
same problem.

thanks a lot for any help

Re: [Shotwell] Shotwell 0.9.3 wrong event date

Hi Antoni,

Two of us at Yorba -- one engineer running Ubuntu Natty and another
running Ubuntu Maverick -- have tried to reproduce your issue and
we've been unable to. Whenever we import the photo you sent, it's
placed in the correct (May 10th) event. Perhaps someone else on the
mailing list has seen a problem like this before and could chime in?

Cheers,
Lucas

Lucas,
I have imported today May 11th, some pictures taken yesterday 10th.
Following your sugestion, I tried first immporting from a folder and I
got the picture filed in the correct folder: 10, but placed in a new wrong
event 12 May.
I am attaching some snapshots showing this results and the photo itself.
(menus are in catalan but there would be obvious to you)
I did again with all the pictures directly from the camera and I had the same
results. Correct folder name but wrong event date 12th may.
By the way, when I imported pictures from the camera and tick the "not
those already imported" shotwell ignored the tick and imported all again.
May be is the same problem about dates?.
Regards.

Hi Antoni,
First, if you import the same photos from your hard disk (say, by
copying them off of your camera and onto your local disk, and then
dragging the photo files into Shotwell), are incorrect events still
generated? Second, if incorrect events are still generated, could you
Cheers,
Lucas

Anything is possible! If you could tell us exactly what system language you
have, what time zone you're in, and send us a photo that exhibits this
problem, that might be helpful (not that you can't send e-mail attachments
to the mailing list.)

Also: does this happen for all photos, or just some?

Hi all,
I've done a little test. I've had changed system language to English
(deleting all other languages) and Shotwell shows all event dates correct
except those events that i've edited manually, Even some of they are
repeated all dates are right. So I guess that is related to system language.

I hope it helps to sort it out.
