Okay. This is coming into slightly clearer focus. You mean that if you
have a photo which was originally taken on December 10, 2007, and
which, thanks to its EXIF date information, is grouped into a Shotwell
event  that includes December 10, 2007, that when you upload this
photo to Facebook that you expect the photo to appear on your Facebook
timeline on December 10, 2007, but it does not? So the problem is not
that the photo takes the date & time of the upload in Shotwell, but on
Facebook's servers, in your Facebook timeline?

Given how the Shotwell Connect plugin for Facebook works today, this
actually the expected behavior, since we don't make any additional
calls to the Facebook API to set date & time properties on the photo
object after it's been uploaded. That said, this is certainly a
reasonable request, and it seems all the more pertinent now that
Facebook has moved from its traditional profile view to the new
timeline view. For this reason, I've opened a ticket for this issue
here: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/5506 and even tabled it for the
next release of Shotwell, 0.13. I can't promise that we'll fix this
for 0.13, but like I say, given Facebook's move to the timeline view,
I do think it's important enough to consider for 0.13.
