Description

Expected behaviour

When uploading a picture (manually or automatically), then change and creation date should both be the date and time when the pciture has been taken. They should both match with the EXIF date/time.

Actual behaviour

Creation date/time is set to upload date/time
Modified date/time is set to actual time of picture taken (together with EXIF)

Steps to reproduce

upload a picture automatically

Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?

files shouldnt be changed. that also involves their time of creating and modify.

iOS version

14.0.1

App version

testflight 3.0.10 (6)

Server configuration

nc 19.0.3, nothing uncommon

Research direction

Start by reproducing an automatic picture upload using the reported iOS and Nextcloud server versions, then trace how EXIF date/time is read and how uploaded file creation and modification times are assigned. Done means both timestamps match the picture's EXIF date/time for manual and automatic uploads; the issue names no files or tests to begin with.
