SUMMARY

I can't get the Adjust Date & Time Plugin work to work.

Screenshots & log attached.

1. I pick the images, 
2. Press Shift CTRL-D
3. The window opens up
4. I set the time/date
5. I apply, it says it processed them without an error. 
6. But nothing changes apart from the Date modified date.

steps attached and the debug log.
The last modified date updates but none of the metadata.

Randomly it will work, but probably 1 in 10 tries. I just figure out why.

I mean I just CAN'T figure out why :-)

It looks like their image don't have any Exif dates. Can be seen in the metadata editor screenshot. In this case you have to deactivate the option "Update only existing timestamps". Then the date metadata is created.

Ahh brilliant, Thankyou.

I feel a bit silly now you pointed that out. I must have been checkbox blind :-)
