Using Xnview ver 2.32
I disabled the "keep date/time for saving" option, but "Edit - Metadata - Clean - Clean metadata" doesn't change the date/time of file, although Optimize and all Removes are enabled.
How can I get to change the date/time of the file?
How can I avoid metadata creation? I disabled the Browser - Thumbnails - Use embedded thumbnail option, so Xnview does not creates embedded thumbnails, but always creates EXIF , when I save a picture.
Thanks

Browser - Thumbnails - Use embedded thumbnail is only when reading thumbnailHow can I avoid metadata creation? I disabled the Browser - Thumbnails - Use embedded thumbnail option, so Xnview does not creates embedded thumbnails, but always creates EXIF , when I save a picture.
EXIF is not created, only updated

When it was enabled, embedded thumbnails was created, I saw its little icon (small square) on thumbnail.xnview wrote:Browser - Thumbnails - Use embedded thumbnail is only when reading thumbnailhopalong wrote: How can I avoid metadata creation?

Now that I disabled, this icon not appears.
I do the save with Ctrl+S after cleaning metadata, and the EXIT icon is on thumbnail.xnview wrote: EXIF is not created, only updated
Before EXIF appears a black and white colored small square icon, if use embedded thumbnail option is enabled.
I think this is the embedded thumbnail icon.

ok, currently file/date is always unmodified...

Re: cleanmedata keeps date
If it's possible, please modify clean metadata to modify data/time of the file, as picture save does.xnview wrote: ok, currently file/date is always unmodified...

Optimize Huffman table OFF -->> ON
Keep EXIF data ON -->> OFF
Keep IPTC data ON -->> OFF
Keep XMP OFF
KEEP ICC profile ON -->> OFF
Rebuild embedded thumbnal ON -->> OFF
and now there is no embedded thumbnail icon, no EXIF icon on thumbnail, and clean metadata only barely reduces the size of file, so it seems that it's optimal for me.
Thank you
