Adjust Time Standalone ExifTool use

OBSERVED RESULT
The standalone version of Adjust Time is able to use ExifTool.
The QBM Adjust Time can't use it or doesn't
The standalone version does write Exif: Original.
The QBM version does not write Exif: Original but reports it successfully edited the file.

EXPECTED RESULT
The QBM does write Exif: Original.

SUMMARY
I checked with ExifToolGUI separately with the same file to make sure if the metadata was updated and exclude a filename parsing issue.
Comment 1 Maik Qualmann 2026-03-01 19:08:42 UTC
BQM also writes Exif:Original here. There are limitations to the BQM Time Adjustment Tool, which is related to the complex editing process; in addition to the ExifTool, the interval mode is also unavailable.

Comment 2 Maik Qualmann 2026-03-01 19:14:22 UTC
We also need to disable timestamps from filenames, as BQM internally uses temporary filenames.
