Unless I am missing something, I do not think this would do much. Here is an example I just tried: I took a photo taken at 00:10 and imported into f-spot. The time became 05:10. If my camera's time had been set to UTC, the photo time would have been 05:10 to start with. Upon importing, the time would be changed to 10:10. I think that the only thing that would modify this behaviour is if f-spot was made to think I am in the UTC timezone. In theory, it would offset the photos by 0 hours then. Indeed, a quick test launching "TZ=UTC f-spot" avoids the time offset. --Pat _______________________________________________ F-spot-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/f-spot-list
