Using the adjust date and time tool to pull the file name timestamp is very helpful, but it does not work with all date formats. I have some photos with the month written out that don't work with the tool. EX: November 23, 2016 at 1002PM
Text is not recognized, we would have to support all languages in the world. That's out of scope. Maik
Hi, DigiKam is great but indeed, it is not clear how ."adjust time" with "File name timestamp" does work. All my +50K photos are under file name "YYYYMMDD hhmmss BLABLA!WHATEVER" DigiKam seems ok on 20190526 122104 IMG_1245 -> GOOD time stamp as it is 20190526 122104 but on does not work on 20190526 122104 P1160146 -> BAD time stamp as it is 20190526 160146 Quite surprising. And no way to find out your algorithm does work
As there is a french IT in the loop : spéciale dédicace bravo Gilles c'est du super super boulot, merci

thank you so much Maik and team Let's wait for next version !
Erik, The 8.2.0 official bundles are already available for production (official announcement will be posted this week end). Look here : https://download.kde.org/stable/digikam/8.2.0/ Please test and report Gilles Caulier
Hi I just tested 8.2, on windows. Seems great. In particular, I can confirm that files with format "YYYYMMDD HHmmss WHATEVERAFTER.XXX" can now be managed, using the great feature allowing to change dates in the metadatas of the photos. Thank you so much again. Not related to digiKam : answering to the initial question from Erik, about names "November 23, 2016 at 1002PM". I strongly suggest first of all you align the naming of your photos and suggest the "Ant Renamer" free tool you can easily find on the web. Ant Renamer can modify the names of multiple files with rules. As an example, it allows to change "November" to "11" in the files that selected. It allows to move X characters to the position Y allowing wou to move the 2016 at the beginning. Then once you have homogeneous names such, you can use DigiKam and all its features Best
Hi Gilles Caulier I've been struggling for a while with the time format that digikam uses to extract dates. In my particular case, it's the use of blank spaces. Currently, I usually use exiftool to perform the massive change of dates, but I wanted to gradually migrate it to Digikam in this regard as well. My problem is that when the date contains a space, it is not recognized as a valid format: 20240827 -> Works fine 2024-08-27 -> Works fine 2024_08_27 -> Works fine 2024 08 27 -> Does not recognize the format Is it possible to expand the format recognition with the inclusion of blank spaces, or does this generate some potential problem?
