PicasaWeb seems to be enforcing a requirement that timestamp values derived from the Exif data (stored as milliseconds since 1970-1-1) need to be positive.
This is unfortunate, since the Exif standard makes no requirement that dates be after 1969, so the PicasaWeb application is erroneously processing Exif dates from before the unix epoch. 1) PicasaWeb should do the Right Thing and properly handle exif data from before 1970. 2) if Google can't fix the implementation of PicasaWeb to adequately handle exif input with dates before 1970 it should not invent bad data and attach a date of "zero"==1970-1-1 to uploaded photos. It must print no date, rather than a wrong date. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Picasa Web Albums API" group.
