Answering myself: no, the excluded images are not calculated into the date range. I made a little test now.

So am I supposed to do something at this point? This post makes it sound like I don't need to do what you mentioned in the previous post. |

Yes, that probably will not help. Today I asked David to look into this thread, as I've run out of ideas.

Laza, just a hunch.... Could some bad dates be "stuck" in the .info file? It might help to be able to examine a zipped-up copy of the Quebec folder on the input side, including its control files.
(I can't get this to fail, either, no matter what odd mix of AO's I throw at it.)

Yes, you are right. jeffkolker could you please attach the .info file from the Quebec folder? (Ctrl-Shift-I)

I think I've just won the prize for the day. In that file are firstCameraDate and lastCameraDate, and they're both on Nov. 24, 2022.
Now the question is how they got there, and why they're incorrect.... More experimentation is called for.
But from jeffkolker's perspective, the quick fix for the immediate problem is to edit that file (with the project closed), and delete those two nodes: <void method="put">
<string>firstCameraDate</string>
<long>1669298585760</long>
</void>
And: <void method="put">
<string>lastCameraDate</string>
<long>1669298585839</long>
</void>

I did a quick experiment, in which a folder contains several old images, and one image taken recently. Built the album, and it correctly identified that one image as "new," and the .info file contained the correct first and last camera dates. Deleted that image, and the .info file was automatically corrected, as expected.
It even worked correctly if I deleted the new image outside of jAlbum, with the project closed, so that jAlbum wouldn't know that it had been done. It still corrected the .info file when I made the album again.
So, the mystery persists.

That got it fixed!
Very nice... I'm not sure how I managed to get those incorrect dates, but I'm glad to know there is a way to fix it if it ever happens again.
Thanks to both of you for your help!!

Great find! David suggested another method to fix stuck camera dates:
JAlbumUtilities.deleteCameraDateCache(rootFolder)
(from the system console) I guess when there are multiple date problems this is the simpler way. |
