A new version of SetEXIFData , my GUI for exiftool by Phil Harvey , is now available:

v7.8
(09 Juni 2019)

New:
- Added a '%-d', '%-s' and '%-t' as placeholders when renaming files. The '-' indicates that dates and times will be formatted with a minus-sign: YYYY-MM-DD and HH-MM[-SS].

Changes:
- The preset 'Artist' does no longer save nor read the camera-data to its presets. Use the new preset-menu on the Camera-tab for that.

Fixes:
- Fixed the usage of the placeholders while renaming files. The placehodler %s and %t sometimes read incorrect date/time data and so could have messed up your new file names.
- Fixed the usage of the checkboxes with the dates. DateTimeOriginal is not modified anymore when 'Set the EXIF Create Dates/Times...' is unchecked. When 'Set the EXIF Create Dates/Times...' is unchecked and 'Set the File Creat Date/Time...' is checked, and you specified a static interval, the interval is added to the EXIF date and then used to modify the Finder's dates.

A new version of SetEXIFData , my GUI for exiftool by Phil Harvey , is now available:

v7.7
(10 May 2019)

New:
- Added a 'Save as set...' popup menu to the 'Camera'-section to just save your camera-details.

Note : if you used the Artist-preset to also save camera-settings, you should now transfer the camera-settings to this new Camera-presets possibility. In v7.8, which will for this reason be forcibly released on May 31, the Camera-settings will be removed from the Artist-presets.

Changes:
- Changed the text 'Image(s)' in Notifications into 'File(s)', since also movies can be processed.
- Changed the text 'Drag images ...' in the main window into 'Drag images and/or movies ...'.
- 'Autofill' checkbox for 'Caption/Description' now omits the file extension from the file name.

Fix:
- Fixed the display of an ampersand (&) in set-names: a saved set with a name like 'You & me' was shown as 'You  me' in a popup-menu.

v7.2
(21 Dec 2018)

A new version of SetEXIFData , my GUI for exiftool by Phil Harvey , is now available:

v7.1
(12 Sep 2018)

Changes:

- The %y option in 'Retrieve Date/Time from file name' has changed.

• %Y (uppercase) reads max 4 digits.
• %y (lowercase) reads max 2 digits.

Remember: SetEXIFData does not know what is a year or month or... it just reads digits up to the maximum for the current attribute or the first non-digit.

Example 1: 80-09-12 -> %Y will read 80 and add 1900 = 1980
Example 2: 80-09-12 -> %y will read 80 and add 1900 = 1980

Example 3: 1980-09-12 -> %Y will read 1980
Example 4: 1980-09-12 -> %y will read 19 and add 2000 = 2019 and because the next two digits are treated as the month, 80, a completely wrong date will be generated.

Example 5: 800912 -> %Y will read 8009 and because the month will be 12 and the day therefore 0, it will generate a completely wrong date.
Example 6: 800912 -> %y will read 80 and add 1900 = 1980

Example 7: 19800912 -> %Y will read 1980
Example 8: 19800912 -> %y will read 19 and add 2000 = 2019 and because the next two digits are treated as the month, 80, a completely wrong date will be generated.

- The Finder's Date Created and Date Modified, when checked, will not be touched when images have dates from 1969 or before.
