WARNING: make sure you have a copy of your photos.db file and of all your pictures. This script has NOT been tested extensively, use at your own risk!
#!/bin/bash sqlite3 ~/.config/f-spot/photos.db "SELECT * FROM photos" | while read line; do epoc=`echo $line | cut -d \| -f2` base=`echo $line | cut -d \| -f3 | sed -e "s%file://%%"` file=`echo $line | cut -d \| -f4` time=`date --date "Jan 1, 1970 00:00:00 +0000 + $epoc seconds" +"%Y:%m:%d-%H:%M:%S"` jhead -ts$time $base$file done
