Hello,
I need to find a way to rewrite the date/time after copying files from a cheap Canon compact camera that uses MTP. For some reason, and unlike other cameras I had, Windows doesn't preserve the original date/time.
Thankfully, the original infos are still available in the Exif data within files.
I followed the instructions above to use the JPG Comment plug-in (2.3.5.0, 32-bits), but the date/time doesn't change, whether I mark whole directories or a single file:

Any idea what I'm doing wrong ?
Thank you.

Thanks mucho.
Does it mean we no longer need the JPG Comment plug-in because this feature has been merged into TC?

NO - The internal tc-"plugin" provides access to the writedate property, but the value is provided by the jpg-comment plugin - Click on the [+] button and you will see that.Does it mean we no longer need the JPG Comment plug-in because this feature has been merged into TC?

Also has preview of the new date/time values. Works on single or multiple selected files at once.asdfagasd wrote:Hey Phred,
Which of the programs you recommend can do change many exif dates all at the same time?
solid, I had a look at your comment again but I couldn't find anywhere that XnViewMP could change Exif data.
I can see how under Tools, Metadata, IPTC and XMP ...
[UPDATE]
I find that the Change Exif routine is under (in the thumbnail browser) Tools, Change timestamp ..., and seems quite comprehensive, too. Thx.
I notice that Photo Gallery uses a different date compared to the Exif data. I remember reading that P/G data has it's roots in Windows XP Properties and that seems to be its focus with less recognition to Exif data blocks. Maybe it's in its own sidecar database..
