SetEXIFData 7.1
Wed, Sep 12 2018, 12:22 Apple, Mac OS X, Photo, Photography, software, video, Xojo PermalinkA 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.
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.
