Probably back several releases, gthumb offered a feature useful for this, but I cannot recall what software I used to do it any more. You can add EXIF data to pictures that don't have it, letting you write in the photos real data, rather than a file-creation date, and sort on that data. Upon reflection, it may not of have been gthumb, it seems to like putting metadata in an XML file, rather than in the image. Making it hard to use the images outside of the gthumb program. While there's value in having external metadata, it's not convenient for sending files here and there. You have to hunt down the extra file to include it, the recipient has to keep both files, and has to have software that reads the XML file. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages posted to the mailing list.
