f-spot displays picture's taken time in UTC, not local time

[Evgeniy Kirov]

Binary package hint: f-spot

i.e. if the photo took at 8:00 in UTC+3, f-spot will show that it took in 5:00.

sorry for my bad english :)

F-Spot also writes incorrect date to the EXIF tag DateTimeOriginal (yes, embed-in-image metadata is enabled)

This appears to be a duplicate of Bug #175191. Upstream is still working on an official fix, but in the meantime I am packaging versions of F-Spot which are patched to not alter timestamps.
