            Bug ID: 422078
           Summary: Album creation date is modification date of the folder
           Product: digikam
           Version: 7.0.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Albums-Group
          Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
          Reporter: maes...@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
If on the disk a new image folder is created, this folder gets scanned by
digikam and results in a new album. The new album gets automatically the
modification date of the folder. 

In my opinion this is not always the excepted behaviour. Users may use
different tools for modifications or just reorder some pictures, so Digikam
takes a wrong date. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Take an old picture and put it into a new folder (modification date is now)
2. rescan items (or restart Digikam)

OBSERVED RESULT
The new albums date is set to today

EXPECTED RESULT
Unsure what I would expect, but this is not correct. Following a better
solution:
- Folder creation date (also error prune)
- Newest creation date of pictures in that folder

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
digikam-7.0.0-rc-20200522T135520-x86-64.appimage
Linux/KDE Plasma: Ubuntu
