Exif Date

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Sat Jul 08, 2006 12:53 am

If i activate Options -> View -> Fullscreen -> Show Information, and i choose to show <Date> then if i open a photo taken on May 12, 2005, i will see 2005:05:12 on the screen.

But here in Spain we don't use this date format, 2005:05:12 in Spain is 12:05:2005, is it possible to change date format on full screen mode in Xnview ? Thanks.

Try with that:

Code: Select all

Date [d/m/Y]

As you can see, things are fully customizable in that editable box.

I'm sorry, but i've tried on Xnview.ini this three possibilities and no one works, may you help me ?. Thanks.

[View]
Text=Date [d/m/Y]
Text=<Date>
Text=<Date> [d/m/Y]

[View]
Text=Date [d/m/Y]
Text=<Date>
Text=<Date> [d/m/Y]

Second possibility was wrong on the previous post. Thanks again.

I had a problem with board text editor, i have to disabled "Disable HTML in this post" on board text editor to be able to show "Text=<Date [d/m/Y]>", sorry.

The formatting didn't work?

I actually use <Date Taken [A d/m/Y H:M:S]> to show the complete EXIF date of my photos (and enter all information through the Options Panel View>Fullscreen).
In your case it should just be <Date Taken [d/m/Y]>.

It works ok with your setting & v1.82.4, but not with all photos only landscape ones, why? Thanks.

Strange...

How did you rotate your vertical pictures?
Do they still have their EXIF data? (check 'Properties' of image)

You're right exif information doesn't exist on vertical photos

, thank you very much for your help

When turning your pictures, you'd better use XnView > JPEG lossless transformations (contextual right click menu) > rotate based on EXIF value: it won't degrade your pictures nor remove EXIF.
It's the best way to do so.
(by the way: I never rotate my original files and work only on copies)
