I have Gutsy (7.10), a camera Canon S3 IS and a card reader. Everytime Gutsy imports files, all files will assume date/time when they were copied to PC, not when the pictures were taken or the films were shot.

It happens when I connect my camera or a memory card (in my card reader). So, this bug is not related to any camera model

All the photos and films are copied into a NTFS partition.

I did a script to copy files from a memory card into this same NTFS partition using rsync and it DOES preserve date/time. So, this bug is not related to NTFS partition.

I fix all date/time from my pictures using this command in the photos directory:
jhead -ft *

On NTFS partitions, use: sudo jhead -ft *

It works for photos, copying the date/time from EXIF, but unfortunatelly it does not work for films (because films don't have EXIF info).

Bye!
