Readycloud 1.5.9 File Dates changed to today for images and movies without EXIF data
I've seen similar posts but without a solution. Using Readycloud 1.5.9 on an iPhone 6S, iOS 10.2. Files synch well if EXIF data exists on the photos which includes those taken with internal camera. Unfortunately images that are screen shot or taken within apps like snapchat are uploaded without the original File Create and File Modify date. Movies taken with the internal camera and within apps also are reset to the upload File Modify and File Create date. Therefore all movies, screen captures, and app movies and images are now dated today's date. Need a solution or this app isn't useful at all. Thanks.3.7KViews1like5CommentsTips for merging photos and movies from multiple cameras and renaming to a common date format
Sharing my command line use of Exiftool to rename my photos and movies from multiple sources so I can merge them and create a common media library. Examples of this, including the format of media that occur in the same second: 2016-06-16 19.28.01.jpg 2016-06-16 19.28.02-1,jpg 2016-06-16 19.28.02-2.jpg 2016-06-26 11.06.08.mov Here is what I do at the command line after changing to the directory containing the media to be renamed: -- Start by renaming photos with a JPG extension -- Use the EXIF CreateDate or "Date Taken" "C:\Program Files (x86)\exiftool-9.78\exiftool(-k).exe" "-FileName<CreateDate" -d "%Y-%m-%d %H.%M.%S%%-c.%%e" IMG*.jpg -- Then rename photos with a PNG extension - but these probably don't have EXIF data but try anyway -- Use the EXIF CreateDate or "Date Taken" "C:\Program Files (x86)\exiftool-9.78\exiftool(-k).exe" "-FileName<CreateDate" -d "%Y-%m-%d %H.%M.%S%%-c.%%e" *.png -- then rename the photos using the file system dates (a little dangerous) for any reamining ones -- use the FileModifyDate "C:\Program Files (x86)\exiftool-9.78\exiftool(-k).exe" "-FileName<FileModifyDate" -d "%Y-%m-%d %H.%M.%S%%-c.%%e" "IMG*.JPG" "C:\Program Files (x86)\exiftool-9.78\exiftool(-k).exe" "-FileName<FileModifyDate" -d "%Y-%m-%d %H.%M.%S%%-c.%%e" "IMG*.PNG" -- RENAME movies using TrackCreateDate "C:\Program Files (x86)\exiftool-9.78\exiftool(-k).exe" "-FileModifyDate<TrackCreateDate" "-FileName<TrackCreateDate" -d "%Y-%m-%d %H.%M.%S%%-c.%%e" *.mov "C:\Program Files (x86)\exiftool-9.78\exiftool(-k).exe" "-FileModifyDate<TrackCreateDate" "-FileName<TrackCreateDate" -d "%Y-%m-%d %H.%M.%S%%-c.%%e" *.mp4 "C:\Program Files (x86)\exiftool-9.78\exiftool(-k).exe" "-FileModifyDate<TrackCreateDate" "-FileName<TrackCreateDate" -d "%Y-%m-%d %H.%M.%S%%-c.%%e" *.WMV -- if no EXIF data for movies, use file system information. change prefix to limit to files not yet changes "C:\Program Files (x86)\exiftool-9.78\exiftool(-k).exe" "-FileName<FileModifyDate" -d "%Y-%m-%d %H.%M.%S%%-c.%%e" IMG*.mov "C:\Program Files (x86)\exiftool-9.78\exiftool(-k).exe" "-FileName<FileModifyDate" -d "%Y-%m-%d %H.%M.%S%%-c.%%e" IMG*.avi "C:\Program Files (x86)\exiftool-9.78\exiftool(-k).exe" "-FileName<FileModifyDate" -d "%Y-%m-%d %H.%M.%S%%-c.%%e" vid*.wmv2.6KViews1like1Comment
