Edit EXIF?

[xnview]

While in the browser view you changed the EXIF and then opened the photo into the full size view and the EXIF info displayed in the upper left corner shows all the changes you made?

yes, not you?

No, it does not change it for me. Here are some screenshots. By the way, I am still using an M2 Pro 12/19 Mac, MacOS 15.5.

I then clicked on Apply and it indicated that it was writing the data.

Displaying the EXIF info after I changed it:

This is just an experiment. Of course, for this HIF photo I do not actually want to change the EXIF.

Focal length is a number not string

[pulancho]

Ahh, yes you are right.

Therefore this should work?

Hmm, that didn't work. I still get the original EXIF info.

strange it works with your file, try to change only make or model

[pulancho]

Okay, I did that. In Edit Metadata I clicked on Clear all. Then I added only EXIF:Make and set it to Canon. But when I look at the photo in the full view the EXIF still says SONY ILCE-6700.

I did CMD+R in the browser, but it didn't seem to do anything. I then opened the photo into the viewer again and it still shows Sony.
