Image information (EXIF) under Camera tab in image view does not update
Posted: 6 Nov 24, 07:23

Have not been able to find any information to help resolve this.

I have images with no Date/Time information (from Whatsapp) which I'd like to include chronologically with camera images.

I use exiftool by Phil Harvey to add the following fields

Date/Time=2024:10:19 19:33:45
Date/Time Digitized=2024:10:19 19:33:45
Date/Time Original=2024:10:19 19:33:45

The added date/time information appears when hovering of the i in Explore and also metadata list under the More > Extensions menu.

However, it does not appear under Camera (right column) when viewing image under Edit. Perhaps this information is only added when adding an image to album?

Secondary question - which EXIF/IPTC fields are used to populate Camera info box?

Thanks

George

Have you tried selecting the image then right clicking and from the contextual menu select ‘Extensions > Adjust camera date…’

I believe that's correct. It would be very inefficient to retrieve that information every time, so I think it's cached. Easy to test - delete one of these "problem" images from the project, then add it again.

Yes, camera dates are cached under .jalbum/albumfiles.txt. Removing and re-adding the images sorts it out.

An old thread that might answer some of your other questions, metadata mapping to jAlbum variables.
