Created attachment 189325 [details] DateTime1 Hi! Something's wrong. I've seen this problem several times before. After scanning the slides, I add the capture date using "Set date and time." However, after the scan, some photos don't have an updated date. In my example, the time should be 14:00:10, incrementing by 10 seconds each time. But it's still showing the old 18:xx:xx. Interestingly, the next photos, also showing 14:xx:xx PM, have the correct 10-second increments. In the edit window, the metadata seems to be written in a jumbled way during the scan. Sometimes it's at the top, sometimes at the bottom, and then randomly in between. Batch processing does this too. But it works. It just seemed like the edit window for date and time closed before all the changes were written. Andy
PS: The subsequent run with the same data worked successfully.
So you have used the import tool to tune the time stamp. Right ?
No. From the toolbar at the top, select "Set date and time" (Ctrl+Shift+D).
Ok, it's the time adjust plugin. Can you take a screenshot of the plugin dialog to show all settings used? Gilles Caulier
Created attachment 189341 [details] DateTime2 Here's the screenshot. Unfortunately, I can't yet say what the cause is. Only that it happens sometimes. Perhaps it's related to the order of the photos? I've moved them around a lot and renamed the files several times. The third column, "Used Timestamp," is confusing me. Shouldn't it show an existing timestamp from the file?
