The problem that I faced with Shotwell is that some older image editors
ignored the camera_date and applied only a processing_date to their
output.

I keep my images in a dated folder (both the raw and final), Shotwell
however can and does move my material into weird and mysterious places.
If I had need to reprocess a file months or years later it may be
totally misplaced (lost).

I could overcome this if there were a way to 're-date' images in bulk.
My only other alternative would be to only use Shotwell for relatively
recent material and use another system entirely for early work. Bit of a
nuisance!

What solution would a Shotwell user find for instance with a large
collection of scanned film material?
