Bug ID: 506362
Summary: mp4 files created using Handbrake are sorted into the
incorrect folder on import
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version First 8.6.0
Reported In:
Platform: Appimage
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Import-Albums
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When I import MP4 files into Digikam with "Date based subalbus" and the
template format "yyyy/yyyy.MM.dd", Digikam always uses the current date for the
subalbum name and not the encoding date, creation date, or last-modified date.
This has been going on since a while (Digikam 6?) for now, it is not a new bug.
It also does not seem to depend on the precise MP4 format (I am experiencing
this with H264 videos created by Handbrake as well as HEVC H.265 videos created
by my smartphone as well as videos downloaded from the net from various
sources). I have attached an example file.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Save the attached mp4 file somewhere
2. Open Digikam choose "Import images", set subalbum template as above, select
this file
3. Import it
OBSERVED RESULT
Subalbum based on current (todays) date is created.
EXPECTED RESULT
"2025/2025.05.18" should have been created as a subalbum since this is the date
of the file and in the mp4 metadata.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS: Digikam current Appimage and KDE Neon 24.04 with all
updates applied.
