[Shotwell] Fwd: Photo exposure time correction

[Peter DO Smith]

Thanks Adam, I have done that as well. As you noted, it is cumbersome
to find the un-dated photos when large imports are involved but your
last import page feature will solve that problem nicely. I am looking
forward to it.

A small note about terminology. You call the  date/time the photo was
taken 'exposure time'.  But this is confusing to the photographer
because this usually means the shutter exposure time, for example
1/100 sec. You could get around this by calling it 'exposure date' or
'photo date'. This would work because in any case most of us see the
event as a given date.
