Shotwell resets photo date when rotating photos
Mandatory: Shotwell version the issue was seen with
… 0.28.4 – "Braunschweig"
The expected behaviour
… Shotwell leaves the file date unchanged. At worst, it changes the file date to the current date and ensures that the metadata records the original file date (e.g. as the data the photo was taken.
What was actually happening
… When the photo is rotated and then saved, Shotwell changes the file date to the current date, leaving no record of the date the photo was taken.
Steps to reproduce the issue
- Open a .png (or .jpg) file
- Rotate the picture
- On exit, click "Save" in response to the question, "Lose changes to xxx.png?"
