set IPTC-date to EXIF-date for multiple pictures

Post by FlorianH »

If more than one image is selected and IPTC date/time-values are set by exif-data (f.e. <EXIF taken>), each image gets the same date/time from the current image when 'write all selected' is pressed (instead of the individual date/time of the image).

It has been requested before during 1.82 testing (see this thread). And this thread points in the same direction. It#s realy stupid work to set these IPTC fields by hand...

Oh, you are right. So it was an user failure. I even can't reproduce it myself now. Embarrasing :?
