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?

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*

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

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
