"EXIF: Date Taken" in labels for fullsceen display of WEBP photos?

[wandro]

Isn't "EXIF: Date Taken" supported in labels for fullsceen display of WEBP photos?

[xnview]

EXIF is not supported by WebP, only XMP

[wandro]

Thank you for the hint.

But XMP:DateCreated doesn't display the real creation date of the photo, but ony the creation date of the photo file.

Sorry but EXIF is supported by WebP

But XMP:DateCreated doesn't display the real creation date of the photo, but ony the creation date of the photo file.

could you send me a sample file?

In the meantime I have used the EXIF/XMP tool from Google play store to inspect my webp photos (taken by the Open Camera app): They didn't contain any EXIF metadata and only XMP "descriptions! (Storing EXIF data has been activated in Open Camera).

I guess the date is in the filename, right ?
So you can put the exif dates back with XnViewMP, with the help of "ExifTool" AddOn (For Windows)

Use ”File>Open With>Configure", add a line , select exiftool.exe (located in XnViewMP's AddOn folder)
Choose a name in 1st column such as Name2Date
In the 2nd column add : -k -exif:alldates<filename

Try on some test files whose name is a valid date
Select some files, Right click > Open with > Name2Date
(It works for me with IMG_20241213_203014.jpg for example)

If it's Ok , add a parameter to prevent the creation of "bak" files : -overwrite_original

Code: Select all

-k -exif:alldates<filename -overwrite_original
