Weird Behaviour with Metadata

Post by Laus »

Hi out there!

Though I've added "Date-Taken" to the "Properties" list with "Include files" ticked, the "Date Taken" column in the main view remains empty for all image files. Most of my image files show a "Date Taken" in the windows properties pop up.

Also if I type "date-taken:" the result is is empty.
However, if I type "date-taken:123" (almost any three or four digits!) _all_ files all shown.

Do I miss something?

Thanks for reading, Laus

Please specify ISO8601 dates with date-taken:

For example:

date-taken:2024-12-13




date-taken:
should match all files that have a date taken value.
Please confirm date-taken: is not showing any results.
Everything might be busy gathering file information.
This may take several minutes.
Progress is shown in the status bar on the right.

One digit values are converted to a year for the current century.
For example:
9 => 2009

Two digits values are converted to a year for the current century.
For example:
24 => 2024

Three digits values are not valid and will match all files.

Four digits will match the year.

Five digits will match the Excel DateTime value.

Six digits is ISO8601 YYYYMM

Seven digits is not valid.

Eight digits is ISO8601 YYYYMMDD

Nine or more digits is the raw filetime.
