In metadatas or in shotwell calendar > interface ? Is it possible to unlimit this ? Unfortunately, due to a code limitation, Shotwell does not handle dates before 1 January 1902. Changing this limit might be tricky, since we rely on glib for dates and times. > What about a text field to put directly the date in picture ? By using the hierarchical tag system, you can do exactly that. You might try something like creating a tag named '1896', then underneath that, a child tag named 'July', a child of that child named '1st' and then tagging your photographs from that date with that. This allows you to sort your images by date, even if the date is prior to 1902. I hope this helps you, but if you have any other questions, please feel free to respond.
