Description Jeff Van Epps 2024-01-24 21:16:47 UTC
SUMMARY
***
Please allow manual entry of date in Adjust Time & Date window where the last option is selected for Timestamp Used.
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select an image
2. Select Item/Adjust Time & Date
3. Under Timestamp Used select the last option

OBSERVED RESULT
You are not allowed to enter the date manually. You must use the dropdown, which shows a calendar of the current month (or possibly different month depending on what it read). Here you can only move back one month at a time. When dealing with scanned images of very old content (for example magazine covers from the 1970s), that's a whole lot of clicking. You can hold down the arrow and goes more quickly and saves your finger but it's still a long wait.

EXPECTED RESULT
Allow user to manually enter date, show error if format is incorrect.

What the heck?!? It wouldn't work for anything until I wrote this up, and now it does. Bizarre. Close/delete.
Comment 2 Maik Qualmann 2024-01-25 06:53:56 UTC
I understand your Comment 1 to mean that the problem is solved. The date entry must be in long date format, e.g. "25 January 2024".
