[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 411229] Re: f-spot import folder structure wrong time zone

[Reto Toengi]

Sorry for the delayed details.
- Dell Latitude D800
- Dual boot with Windows XP. (the real time clock is set up US Pacific)
- Digital camera (Canon Power Shot S2) with local time setting
- Used to have Ubuntu 6.06, with fresh install from live CD of up to Ubuntu 9.10 always importing old home directory from the time that was possible

Operation:
- When plug in Camera on USB port, import F-Spot wizard starts
- I import all the photos into /home/me/Photos
I expect it to show up in F-Spot with the correct time stamp and in the file structure according to that (/home/me/Photos/yyyy/mm/dd) as it used to be. 

- Now F-Spot pictures shows photo time stamp 7 hours later than the meta data in the file (meta data is correct). The 7 hours offset is true for Halloween 2009 pictures. 8 hours for Dec,31 2008. 7 h Apri, 5th 2008, .....
- if I look at the location of the picture, it imported it into the structure /home/me/Photos/yyyy/mm/dd according to the F-Spot time.

I would expect that the import code reads the meta data of the file and
uses this as the true time stamp, since they are set for local time.
(not adding some GMT offset)

I could not find any configuration that would explain what I see.
