EXIF off by a month
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

The file clearly contains 2008:10:27 16:48:22.
Why do we see
"Date and time of data generation 08:04, 19 September 2008" etc. ?

The file upload comment contains "2008.10.27", but the EXIF metadata is what is displayed in the "file metadata" table, and that clearly shows 19 September.

How stupid I was.

Tim, is there anyway to like totally remove this bug from bugzilla?
How embarrassing.
There must be a way.
Let's say somebody posts a state secret here, or ascii art pornography.
There must be a way. Thanks.
