Title: Sorting images by created date?
Post by: twfeline on 2018-02-08 18:32:21

ThumbsPlus won't let me sort by image creation date. Sorting by "date taken" ends up using the file's "modified" date, which isn't the same as created.

As I understand it, Date Taken is derived from a file's 'Original Date/Time' EXIF-field which is read when the file is thumbnailed. As such:

 - This would only work with files that actually contain this data
 - This may not work for files originally thumbnailed with older versions of TP.
 - It is not to be confused with a file's creation date in the filesystem.
