Change timestamp & long path

[xnview]

which full path do you use for the image?

[metal450]

It's not like I use the same path every time; just any long path, like the examples I gave previously. i.e. here's another example, the one I happened to use in this last video:

D:\_Pics+Vids_\PicsToSort\2020-02) Covid (Covey,Kingston,Iceland,Kauai,Baltic)\Compressed\2023-03-02) TRIP - Caribbean Cruise (8 Countries)\2023-03-12) Barbados (CruiseEnd, AnimalFlowerCave, FullCountryLoop, Sargassum, Oystins)\4136 - P_2 - Copy.jpg

really strange, i can't reproduce on Win 10, with same path in 1.4.5

[metal450]

Yeah not sure what else I can say - I just tried it on a different physical PC, and reproduced it exactly as shown. So it happens on 2 different PCs, with the path specified & the image shown on dropbox.

To be clear: it can change the modification timestamp; it just fails to change the exif timestamp.
