Photo Dates

[hip2b2]

Photos are being shown in the timeline based on the upload date, rather than as I would have expected the creation date. Usually not an issue, but sometimes for really time sensitive "stuff" it is.
1- Any way to change the behaviour?
2- I know there is a way to change the date so that the photo stores in the correct date bucket, I've done it, I just can't do it now when I need to (please don't ask). What am I misremembering?

I feel like the South end of a horse facing North, sorry for the stupid questions (yes, sometime there are stupid questions).

Thanks

The photo date used for the timeline is not the upload date.

Code: Select all

The general purpose "photo date" is constructed as:

first XMP's exif:DateTimeOriginal
if not exists XMP's exif:DateTimeDigitized
If not exists XMP's tiff:DateTime
if not exists EXIF's date time original
if not exists EXIF's date time digitized
if not exists EXIF's base date (0x132)
if not exists File Last Modification Date

Info Panel shows XMP's exif:DateTimeDigitized

To change a date for a thumb, select the thumb, right click -> Operations -> Redate files
