Hi

I am using darktable 2.4.2 on Linux Mint 19 Tara \n \l

Have been using this for some years.

However earlier because I was not exporting images for use on a site that
uses exif data to organize the pictures the "bugs" did not bother me - now
they do

*First Bug - Random change in exif date*
Specifically the bug seems to be that Darktable randomly changes the exif
date (and time) of when the picture was taken.

I shoot in Nikon raw format (.nef) and have usually been exporting images
to jpeg using the naming format as below
$(EXIF_YEAR)$(EXIF_MONTH)$(EXIF_DAY)_foo_name_$(FILE_NAME)

This is when I started realizing that Darktable was messing up the dates.
Two files taken in a sequence are set many months apart with the wrong date
set randomly to some period earlier.

I normally work directly on the SD Card for immediate processing and later
work of my external Hard Drive for more careful processing and organizing .

Googling, for this error, does not throw up any results - but maybe I did
not google the correct terms.

*Second Bug - Darktable keeps showing old deleted files in the darktable
browser.*
The reference environment is the same. However while working from / on the
sd card darktable seems to pick up long deleted files - and shows many of
them some from more than a year ago.

I have formatted the SD cards multiple times - I have deleted the
thumbnails and darktable caches from the Linux system - but these ghost
files keep appearing - they appear as blanks on the lighttable - but there
are 100's and to get to the actual files with content I have to scroll
quite far down.

***
Last
*I really like Darktable *- it is my favorite go to software and has made
life very easy for post processing and exporting to easily distributable
formats.

So thank you very much

kind regards
ram
