Thanks for this information.
But unfortunately this does not solve my problem. If I turn "writing
metadata" on f-spot writes an exif tag to photos without one. But the
correct date and time is still not set. Instead the photo only includes
the modification time. (I also tested this with the current cvs version;
same behavior).

With the current cvs version of f-spot I get another problem: The program
crashes if I try to open the preferences dialog:

Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not

I hope this information is usefull to someone...
