Import and sort... creation EXIF Date

[bamboo5]

Is there a way to import and sort using other field that is not name or modification date?

I would like to sort it via creation exif date.

Otherwise I guess I could convert all modification date into the creation date, but I would rather not do that.

Kind regards,

At the end I managed to do it with exif tool and powershell:

Code: Select all

& "C:\Program Files\XnViewMP\AddOn\exiftool.exe" -o . "-Directory<DateTimeOriginal" -d "X:\CopyTo\%Y" -r "X:\CopyFrom\"

Bravo for the workaround, I'm taking note of these parameters.
I'm using this date format -d %Y-%m-%d

Your initial request is interesting, and a suggestion for improvement seems justified.
At the bottom of the import and sort window, a choice of date field would make it possible to reprocess files with awkwardly modified dates.

I can't trust the creation exif further than the year, which is why I want to organise by year. I have also found that very few softwares let you specify the use of a Year only, mostly defaults to Year and Month.
