** Description changed:

  This patch implements https://blueprints.launchpad.net/phatch/+spec
  /time-shift-action .
  
- Note that this action as well as other actions related to metadata seem
- to modify original input images in any case (ie. even if save action is
- provided). I'm not convinced this is a good default behavior as it's
- easy to mess up metadata of your original files easily this way. (Result
- does not match expectation as Phatch works in non-destructive way with
- images. :) )
+ Juho: Note that this action as well as other actions related to metadata

+ save action. So this is totally intended at the moment. When it is

+ the phatch-dev mailing list. This behavior will change soon to a better
