Looking further into this, I find that although the File Manager appears to report the date of the scan, it's actually reporting the date of change of the file - the scanning software has not included the date of the scan in the EXIF metadata associated with the image.
It would still be helpful if images could be sorted by the date the file was created or modified in the absence of EXIF date information, but that would be a Request For Change. -- Date information not imported with jpg files of scanned negatives https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/644125 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
