1) Manual sorting via drag and drop is possible with digiKam. Set the sorting to Manual and by Date or Manual and by Name. 2) The Time Adjust tool in digiKam can write the date to the EXIF data of images with a time interval. 3) digiKam can also do this, for example, in the Caption tab in the right sidebar.

Date1
1) Great! I didn't see it. I guess I was too tired. It's sometimes hard to find the right English keywords in the manual.
2) I'd already found and used that.
3) Can you show me a picture of what you mean? Attached is what I mean.
Regards
Andy

Date and Time
Hello!
I found the place to make the change.
But I prefer the "Adjust Time & Date…" menu entry in the Main Window. Here I can preview the new timestamp and enter an interval. This is better for the order of files in Windows Explorer and other programs.
As I said, it would be easier if the month were displayed as a number next to the red "1". But okay. Perhaps it has to be this way for countries with a different date format. I'll get used to it.
Now I've noticed something else. Is it possible to display the seconds for the modification time and the capture time below the preview images?
Regards
Andy
I just noticed that I have to be very careful how I select the photos I want to change using CTRL. If I select photo 2 first and then photo 1, they are added to the changes list in that order. If I move the photos around in the changes list, the new times aren't automatically reassigned from top to bottom. Regards Andy Hi! I think something's wrong. https://files.kde.org/digikam/ The last Windows version is from December 25, 2025. Andy Hi, The VM is down. I currently rebuild all from scratch. It's not yet complete at all. It take more than time than expected. I will restore the backup of the old VM today and continue later the new VM. Best Gilles Caulier @Gilles Thanks! @Maik Thank you for the "seconds" Andy Note that the "seconds" will disappear by default in the next version. However, you can now edit the date format string yourself in the setup and simply append ":ss". Maik Hi!
I'd like to rename the files. Sometimes two photos have the same time stamp. Is there a way to append a number to both files in this case?
