Hi,
Thanks,
Regarding your question:
That's strange. Are you sure that it is setting the time stamp to the Metadata Date and not simply to the current system time? (which of course would also be wrong, but might have a different cause)
Yes, I selected "Set to XMP/EXIF date/time created" in "Modify File Info"
Regarding:
Does this also happen when you work with JPG files instead of PNG?
Not tested at time of posting because I started first doing this with old screenshots all are in png!
I make a test which gave interesting results:
When I save as jpg an existing png (with Camera>Original = 2020/06/15T10:46:39Z) the resulting jpg didn't retain that Metadata and prevent me doing a test.
I did manually add camera>Original Date/Time to that jpg file. Data was grabbed (Copy/paste) from above (2020/06/15T10:46:39Z) and I noticed that this not worked as expected!
I tested again adding camera>Original Date/Time to that jpg but replaced "/" by "-" and "T" by space (2020-06-15 10:46:39Z). Testing now "Set to XMP/EXIF date/time created" well worked!
Therefore, I understand that
I Have define following to set meta data from file date:
Set if Blank / Original Date/Time / \i:File date;
Set if Blank / Creation Date (xmp) / \i:File date;
Set if Blank / Modification date / \i:File date;
assigned values using the \i:file instruction are stored in a format they can't be reused later using date time (because of use "/" separator )
Maybe bring it to the attention of tech support..: http://www.thumbsplus.com/support.html
I will do as per suggested.
Thanks
