Title:
  F-Spot modifies files on import - not clear what or why.

Status in “f-spot” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: f-spot

  I decided to try F-Spot for the first time in a couple of years and
  while investigating problems with importing images I came across all
  the bugs related to it changing EXIF data without warning. I decided
  to see if this had happened to me (the bugs are reported as fixed in
  the latest package in Ubuntu Lucid) and I found that the modification
  date on several thousand of my files had been changed to the date/time
  they were imported. On comparing the EXIF data of a few images to the
  backups I have it would seem that it hasn't changed the dates and
  times the photos were taken, but diffing the files reports there are
  definitely discrepancies.

  So what has F-Spot modified about my files without my permission or
  knowledge? I'm tempted to do a mass restore from my backups just in
  case but this simply should not happen with a simple import operation.

  I was going to post this as a question but decided it's a bug in that
  1. it happens unexpectedly and 2. shouldn't happen at all.

  For info, I did not have the files copied to my Photos library so they
  are all in the original location I imported them from.

  Thanks.
