photon v0.41.0

Highlights

• Every date a photo has, in the info panel. A new Dates section lists when the photo was taken, digitized and last edited, as its EXIF records them (a video shows its creation date), and when the file was created and last modified. A date shared by several of them is shown once, as "Taken, digitized", so a typical camera photo shows two or three rows, not five. The camera's dates are shown as the camera's clock read them; the file's dates are shown in your own time zone.
• A photo whose capture date photon refused (say, one dated 4501) now shows that date under Taken, which explains why the photo is filed under the file's date instead.

Your files are untouched

The dates are read from the photo when you open the panel; nothing is written to the file.

Upgrading

Nothing needs to be done. The library is not changed, so 0.40.0 can still open it, and no files are re-read.

"File created" appears only where the filesystem records a file's creation time. Most Linux filesystems, Windows and macOS do; some network shares and older filesystems don't, and there the row is simply absent.

Not in this release

Editing a photo's dates; an "added to library" date, which photon does not record.

Unsigned installers. See the README for the security warnings each OS shows, and how to get past them.
