I am pleased to see that, yes, but I still don't understand what's going on. Here's the output of 'exiv2 test.jpg': for the first of two example images:

Luckily the metadata itself hasn't been corrupted this time, but I can't possibly go through 4,000 photos to check whether their correct date is 03-04-05 or 05-04-03. So even though I'm happy to hear that f-spot won't alter metadata anymore it was a little too late for me, I'm afraid :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/636819 Title: F-spot error: Value is greater than Int32.MaxValue or less than Int32.MinValue -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
