Propose an example with EXIF date #313

Closed Nilvus closed 3 years ago

Nilvus commented 3 years ago

Propose an example to set import options with EXIF dates instead of current date as I see some times new users asking for that. Following this discussion: https://github.com/darktable-org/darktable/pull/9558#issuecomment-882114312

@elstoc: your review is requested here (I can't set reviewers, labels or milestones here). Maybe my english will need improvement.

I don't think this information fits well here, it seems random and we cover all the variables in another topic.

It's not at all random as I see many users ask for such import. I'm so quite sure that many users would prefer import by EXIF dates instead of actual import date. That's why I suggested those as an example to help and show how to work with variables. I think we could add that in the manual (or as a default in darktable import dialog window (but that would need a manual update too).

Maybe there's another place that fits well. I'm open to any suggestion.

I agree that the default import date being today's date is a strange choice.

I think this information makes the most sense in the workflow topic about importing: https://darktable-org.github.io/dtdocs/overview/workflow/import-rate-tag/

Where you currently have it is all reference information, where it doesn't make sense.
