XnView Software

re: Please “disable HTML in this post”, if your message contains <date format variables>, or enclose the text in tags....

I was showing the meta data I use in the browser view...
...Tools >> Options >> Browser >>

[<Filename With Ext>, <Size> bytes, <Modified Date>
<Format>
<Width>x<Height>, <Date ...

When I changed to the 'thumb + detail' view the files were properly sorted by EXIF date and when I changed back to 'details' the sort order remained. So I closed/opened the program and still no change. I will do this again after a complete exit, reboot and 'cleaning' to confirm.

Meanwhile, I tried ...

XnView 1.95.4

I have run into that when I go through several iterations of renaming and accidentally have one number sequence overlap another... but once the numbers are organized the error goes away.

When I sort by EXIF Date in the browser view it appears like the sort uses camera model first then EXIF date. However, this "sort by EXIF date" error does not happen when performing a batch rename.

I too will be looking forward to being able to add EXIF date info to my scans and other pics that have lost the EXIF info along the way.

Additionally, if the EXIF date can be created in batch using the date modified, date entered, or something similar.

Thanks,
Paul
