Hello,
a few notes on the "Change timestamp" function in the Tools menu.
1/ When I select several files, there are 2 buttons: "Write" and "Write to all files". What does "Write" do? Shouldn't it always be "Write to all files" since several files were selected? It is a bit confusing.
2/ If I select a folder and then "Write to all files", nothing happens and there is no recursivity in the sub-folders. It seems that this function only applies to a selection of files, not folders. It would be useful to have a "Apply to sub-folders" checkbox in order to manager directories with many sub-folders.
3/ The ? at the top right of the window seems inactive: when I click on it, a forbidden icon appears.
These remarks also apply to "Edit GPS data" in the Metadata menu.
Best regards,
Aries

Re: Change timestamp function
Ok thanks.
As for 2/, the workaround is to select a folder with the left panel tab and then select files (recursive), then select all files and apply the Change timestamp.
But, I would like to suggest a recursive function directly in the Change timestamp function. It is more obvious there. Same for the change GPS coordinates function.
