Edit dates. Can you add:
File create, file modify, files access
... dates as target ?

Even if some devices overwrite some of these fields after saving...

'File create' is not possible. if i remember correctly i had problem with file modify/file access, i'll try

Right
I ran tests with ExifTool : ( here exiftool field names )
- The File:FileCreateDate field does not seem to exist on Android. File:FileModifyDate is used instead by Android Galleries
- The File:FileModifyDate and File:FileAccessDate fields are editable

- The File:FileInodeChangeDate field is read-only and is the the time when the file's metadata or attributes were changed.
This field seems to be called "Create Date" in xnview mobile. Could this be a mistake?

Thanks, works

It seems that File:FileModifyDate is changed by Android on 11+ when re-scan is made...

En "Exception under Android 11:
MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission ("All Files Access"): Only apps granted this system-level special permission (file managers, backup tools) retain the ability to use the standard POSIX API to modify file dates. Google strictly controls the rollout of this privilege on the Play Store."

It might be useless to keep working in this direction. Personally, I'll stick to managing photo dates on a PC before transferring them to Android
Too bad for those who insist on using file-date-based galleries


FR "exception sous Android 11
Permission MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE ("All Files Access") : Seules les applications obtenant cette permission spéciale de niveau système (file managers, outils de sauvegarde) conservent le droit d'utiliser l'API POSIX classique pour altérer la date de modification. Google contrôle strictement l'attribution de ce privilège sur le Play Store."

C'est peut-être inutile de continuer à travailler dans ce sens, vu la complexité du truc.
Personnellement, je continuerai à gérer les dates des photos dans un PC avant de les transférer vers Android.
Et tant pis pour ceux qui tiennent à utiliser des "Galleries" basées sur les dates de modification

When it comes to new functions, I am reminded of the request from the beginning of the tests. The idea is to be able to set the sorting and grouping of each folder separately.
There would be a global setting in the Settings, and as long as the settings are not changed in a given folder, changes in global settings are included, such a folder would change after new global settings. But once a folder was set, only that folder would be changed.

• Rotate, adjust stillpictures (contrast, gamma, exposure,...). Removing XnConvert, ResizeMe would free some spaces on our phones

• Display metadata under thumbnails for videos, similar to the labels under pictures

• Manage, restore dates/times for videos as most tools managing videos erase or reset these metadata. So far I use EXIF Pro. It works fine for both pictures and videos but becomes obsolete vs new releases of Android.

• Set metadata date/time based on timestamp in the filename. I managed to create scripts (.cmd) to do that on my PC and I'm reluctant to start equivalent dev’ on Android
