hi,
i'm having a weird problem, and i've searched about, and cant find any reference to it anywhere else... (if i've just missed it, please point me in the right direction).
basically, when using chdk in my a720, the first folder and the first .CRW it creates after being turned on, have the creation date "1/01/00 00:00" (i have it set to create a new folder each day, to help me catalog my photos, but it makes no difference whether this feature is on or off). if i turn the camera off then back on, the first .CRW it creates has the "1/01/00 00:00" timestamp again. (these creation dates carry over to my linux desktop too).
it looks like chdk is storing the creation date of the last .JPG that was taken while the camera was on, then using it for the creation date of the next .CRW, so the .CRW files are getting their creation date from the previous .JPG file that was created (hence the first one being "1/01/00 00:00" as there is no "previous" one), as for the next picture i take, the .CRW has the same creation date as the previous .JPG i took, not the one that it is "paired" with... maybe someone can confirm/refute this?
i am currently using the version linked to in this thread (allbest "test" version 41):
Problems with CHDK on A720IS in view-modealthough i was previously using allbest version 37, which showed the same behaviour.
is this an issue that other people have? is it a known bug? in the scheme of things, it's a minor annoyance, considering the great achievements and benefits of chdk, but my pedantic nature can't help but seek a fix
but if someone tells me it will never be possible, i can live with it.
