Error adding EXIF data to PNG

[Taps7734]

I am trying to create the EXIF: Date Taken entry in a PNG file with the CHANGE TIMESTAMP function.

When I do, I get a message saying "An error occurred in updating process!"

The same action works well for a JPG. Just seeing this in a PNG file.

I went to https://flatai.org/ai-image-generator-free-no-signup/ and created a test file.

This was actually the origin of files I was trying to write the EXIF timestamp to in the first place.

My goal was to rename all files according to timestamp. As a workaround, I have been converting them to JPG, keeping the original file date. And they I insert the EXIF information into the JPG.

Well now I feel stupid.

I didn't even think to look at the file headers. I figured since the site and the browser said it was a PNG, it was a PNG.

Thanks for being my second set of eyes.
