Then I will be happy to apply a patch to this version (which looks
great otherwise)

Yes, I know about this, but the time is still wrong in the DB and then
we don't have tags (and correct rotating state ?) in the pictures
which is even worse for me...

This would be great, even if I don't have a camera providing access to
the RAW data... Then there is an EXIF field which still stores the
correct time ?
I recall seing a script to "reset" pictures time to this value, I
should try this at some point to mitigate the problem :)

Best regards.
