Change Timestamp doesn't set EXIF: Date taken, even if "create" & "force" are checked

[metal450]

I have some jpgs where, if I use Tools->change timestamp, select "create EXIF metadata if needed," also select "force the update in case of anomaly", and select "EXIF: Date taken", it doesn't apply the date. It also doesn't report any error - it just does nothing (i.e. silently fails). I'm setting to a fixed time.

Here are a couple examples:

ExifTool returns an error on these files "Error reading StripOffsets data in IFD0"

If there's an error, the UI should show the operation result as an error - rather than just silently failing & making it look like the operation was successfully performed on all files

Thanks to your detailed description I can reproduce the problem.

This problem is supposed to be fixed in XnView MP 1.7.1. Please check and confirm the bug fix here.

Confirmed

I still see this problem in v1.8.3 with any JPGs I've tried from my smartphones.

exiftool doesn't report any problems, but after going to to Metadata -> Change timestamp and entering a specific timestamp and checking all 6 checkboxes, the timestamps remain unchanged:

Create Date : 2024:11:21 16:31:02.186
Date/Time Original : 2024:11:21 16:31:02.186+08:00
Modify Date : 2024:11:21 16:31:02.186+08:00
