hkymre Posted December 15, 2024 Posted December 15, 2024 when exporting a file from Photo the EXIF has the Date and Time (Digitized) set, but not the Date and Time (Original) if the files are then uploaded to Flickr it doesn't know the date taken as it only appears to use Date and Time (Original) - so this is a Flickr issue, not an Affinity one I can set up a process of export from AF photo, then use exiftools to add the missing data & then upload to Flickr Is there any other approach I can take?

David in Яuislip Posted December 16, 2024 Posted December 16, 2024 This is V1.10.6 but only a png has the Date/Time Original in xmp not exif area, exif in pngs is a bit of a moving target exiftool P9180385.jpg -G -*date* [File] File Modification Date/Time : 2024:12:16 09:52:07+00:00 [File] File Access Date/Time : 2024:12:16 09:52:08+00:00 [File] File Creation Date/Time : 2024:12:16 09:52:07+00:00 [EXIF] Modify Date : 2024:12:16 09:52:07 [EXIF] Date/Time Original : 2024:09:18 15:01:10 [XMP] Create Date : 2024:09:18 15:01:10 [XMP] Metadata Date : 2024:12:16 09:52:07Z exiftool P9180385.tif -G -*date* [File] File Modification Date/Time : 2024:12:16 11:14:53+00:00 [File] File Access Date/Time : 2024:12:16 11:14:54+00:00 [File] File Creation Date/Time : 2024:12:16 11:14:53+00:00 [EXIF] Modify Date : 2024:12:16 11:14:53 [EXIF] Date/Time Original : 2024:09:18 15:01:10 [XMP] Create Date : 2024:09:18 15:01:10 [XMP] Metadata Date : 2024:12:16 11:14:53Z exiftool P9180385.png -G -*date* [File] File Modification Date/Time : 2024:12:16 11:20:06+00:00 [File] File Access Date/Time : 2024:12:16 11:31:34+00:00 [File] File Creation Date/Time : 2024:12:16 11:20:06+00:00 [XMP] Date/Time Original : 2024:09:18 15:01:10 [XMP] Create Date : 2024:09:18 15:01:10 [XMP] Modify Date : 2024:12:16 11:20:06Z [XMP] Metadata Date : 2024:12:16 11:20:06Z How do you determine that the DateTimeOriginal is missing and what is your Photo version? What happens if you use exiftool filename.ext -G -*date* ?

When the photo is uploaded to Flickr the date taken is blank. the exif in Flickr shows Date and Time (Digitized) - 2023:12:25 16:26:37.98+01:00 Creator Tool - NIKON Z 5 Ver.01.41 Metadata Date - 2024:08:25 14:53:48+01:00 Date and Time (Modified) - 2024:08:25 14:53:48+01:00 I think it needs Date and Time (Original) to be set for the date taken to be populated, but as you say the data is there in XMP so it must be a Flickr issue exiftool filename.exe -G -*date* shows [File] File Modification Date/Time : 2024:08:25 14:53:49+01:00 [File] File Access Date/Time : 2024:08:25 14:53:49+01:00 [File] File Creation Date/Time : 2024:08:25 14:53:49+01:00 [XMP] Date/Time Original : 2023:12:25 16:26:37.98+01:00 [XMP] Create Date : 2023:12:25 16:26:37.98+01:00 [XMP] Modify Date : 2024:08:25 14:53:48+01:00 [XMP] Metadata Date : 2024:08:25 14:53:48+01:00 [ICC_Profile] Profile Date Time : 2024:08:23 11:34:03 And that means my plan of changing things via exiftools before uploading is a non-starter. It looks like I need to head to the Flickr forums Quote
hkymre Posted December 16, 2024 Author Posted December 16, 2024 ah, it appears uploading JPEGs work but PNG files don't Quote
David in Яuislip Posted December 17, 2024 Posted December 17, 2024 You can use the command below to write the exif:DateTimeOriginal tag if it doesn't exist so it would only rewrite pngs and leave jpgs alone. I expected it to copy the tag from xmp to exif but it moves it which I don't understand however it may be useful for Flickr submissions D:\NewDownloads>exiftool -G -*date* P9180385.png [File] File Modification Date/Time : 2024:12:16 11:20:06+00:00 [File] File Access Date/Time : 2024:12:17 09:30:51+00:00 [File] File Creation Date/Time : 2024:12:16 11:20:06+00:00 [XMP] Date/Time Original : 2024:09:18 15:01:10 [XMP] Create Date : 2024:09:18 15:01:10 [XMP] Modify Date : 2024:12:16 11:20:06Z [XMP] Metadata Date : 2024:12:16 11:20:06Z D:\NewDownloads>exiftool "-exif:DateTimeOriginal<xmp:CreateDate" -if "not $exif:DateTimeOriginal" P9180385.png 1 image files updated D:\NewDownloads>exiftool -G -*date* P9180385.png [File] File Modification Date/Time : 2024:12:17 09:38:16+00:00 [File] File Access Date/Time : 2024:12:17 09:38:16+00:00 [File] File Creation Date/Time : 2024:12:16 11:20:06+00:00 [XMP] Create Date : 2024:09:18 15:01:10 [XMP] Modify Date : 2024:12:16 11:20:06Z [XMP] Metadata Date : 2024:12:16 11:20:06Z [EXIF] Date/Time Original : 2024:09:18 15:01:10 hkymre 1 Quote Microsoft Windows 11 Home, Intel i7-1360P 2.20 GHz, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Intel Iris Xe Affinity Photo - 24/05/20, Affinity Publisher - 06/12/20, KTM Superduke - 27/09/10

D:\NewDownloads>exiftool "-exif:DateTimeOriginal<xmp:CreateDate" -if "not $exif:DateTimeOriginal" P9180385.png 1 image files updated ... Thank you so much, that's fixed it. And I'll being using jpegs in the future Quote
