frankfrank Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 After loading into Daminion and synchronizing metadata, some files were missing their original creation date. Daminion initially reads the creation date correctly, and the Creation Datetime is present in the Daminion database, but after sync, it is not present in the EXIF or any other part of the file. This does not happen with files from digital cameras, only on scanned images that I had added metadata to with AnalogEXIF. It looks like AnalogEXIF adds only "Date/Time Original" EXIF tag, while digital cameras add both "Date/Time Original" and "Create Date" EXIF tags, though I'm not sure if that's relevant. So I don't know what is preventing Daminion from writing the Creation Datetime from its database to the expected metadata fields (EXIF, XMP, and IPTC). I have selected "Add compatibility with Windows Explorer and old programs" under Daminion preferences. Version 3.4.0 (build 1113) Before and after, viewed with exiftool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murat Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Can you please send me this file for analyzing to support/at/daminion/dot/net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murat Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Unfortunately I can't reproduce this issue. I was able to update the EXIF Original Datetime of the images you sent me by the 1113 build. Can we arrange a remote TeamViewer session?

frankfrank Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Sorry for the delay... I did some tests with this file. If I assign a color label in Daminion immediately after import and then sync, it will remove the Date/Time Original tag from the file's EXIF. This is what happened in the problematic situation above. If, instead, I update some other kind of metadata in Daminion (like rating or keywords) immediately after import, then there is no problem. Date/Time Original EXIF tag remains as it should. Can you reproduce that? It is true that in all situations, I can modify the Creation Datetime in Daminion, and after doing that, it will write the Date/Time Original EXIF tag to the file. But I'm not interested in modifying the date, I only want Daminion to preserve the date that was already there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yves1969 Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I have the same problems with the date tag. When i inport the photo's from my sony video cam the create date will set to the date of today. How can i prevert that ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
