Created attachment 190493 [details] 1 Hi! I scanned a lot of slides 25 years ago. I've noticed that they don't have a modification date. When I try to adjust the date and time, I also find that digiKam doesn't add the date. I think the options are selected correctly. Andy
I don't think I can reproduce it. The absence of a modification date in the file system is practically impossible. I've never seen anything like it. Maik
Please create a DebugView log of a file that has no modification date, where you change the date using the Time Adjust Tool. Maik
This is a Windows problem. More specifically, it seems to be a network protocol issue. Anything before January 1, 1980, isn't displayed when viewing the data from the Synology's file path. However, if the folder is viewed locally, it shows a date like 1974, etc. It's always something new. DigiKam records the date correctly, but can no longer read it if it's a network path. Is it possible to use the TimeAdjust tool to change the capture date and other dates to 1974, but the modification date to today? Andy

Yes, the modification date is set to the current date if the option to update the date stamp is enabled in the metadata settings. Maik
Thank you. I need to correct myself: digiKam correctly displays modification dates before January 1, 1980. I was looking in the wrong place. So, only Windows Explorer has this problem. With digiKam, I couldn't filter all photos with modification dates older than... Using "BulkFileChanger," it worked very quickly. Andy
