I select to change all dates ( base date/time, date/time original & date time digitized) as well as ' change file date' as this seems to have the most success in updating the three dates mentioned above.įrom experimenting, when I rename the files using %yy-%mm-%dd_%hh-%nn_%ss.%FileExtension it appears to be reading 'DTO' so this is the crucial one that needs to be set correctly.Īs mentioned above, when I run the batch re-date, some photos update and others don't. Having the 'Details' panel open, there appear to be three dates: Date Content Created ( DCC), Date Time Original ( DTO) and Date Time Digitized ( DTD) If I select a group of photos in a folder and choose the Re-Date function / shift dates option, some of the photos update and others don't. I am finding it very unpredictable in its behaviour but that could be down to the user. I didn't appreciated what 'shift dates' did. Thanks for informing me of the Ctrl-SHift-D shortcut. I can if needed - but it would be much easier to stay here since I can leverage the "date counter" variable to auto-append that based on the number of images per day. any thoughts? If I can just grab the date portion - then I don't need to step out of Idimager for this project and run scripts through exiftool. my final holdup - how to apply only the date part of the datetimeoriginal within the rename script? I tried using a but that doesn't appear to work for this field. If not, then force the "apply" button within the details panel for single image changes as well - in fact, I was looking for one after the changes didn't work because I thought perhaps it was at the bottom of the panel and I was missing it. it baffled me and I am pretty darn savvy when it comes to these programs! Was there a programming/design need to force a click on another image for the changes to apply? I guess I thought as soon as I made an edit to the detail data - is would file to the catalog and sync to the image (with autosync on). that is interesting but seems very confusing. I have autosync turned on so I would think all data should be written out to he file as soon as I make them to the Details pane? Thx - Andy. what should be the steps toĪ) change info on the details screen, rename a file and ensure that all catalog changes are stored into the actual file. the file does not rename but the Details still show the new date. I check the Image Details and once again see the original date in place (!)ĥ - After this, I then try soemething else - I do steps 1-3 above and then choose AutoSync. so, I then:Ĥ - Perform steps 1-3 above and right click the image and choose Metadata->Save Metadata to File Ok - I guess the rename is using the File info that this point and the edit to the image details only affected the catalog. which leads me to a question about order of operations which may be helpful here as well.ġ - Highlight an image, go to the Date Time Original field in the Details Pane and click it to bring up the calendarĢ - I choose a different year and then click outside the calendar - I verify that the image shows the correct Year.ģ - If I then go to rename the image, the Old Year is used in the filename and the Date Time Original reverts back to the old date. Funny - I am doing something very similar for a client but each photo needs to be adjusted individually.
