Happy start of Autumn everyone,

I started using JRiver to manage my pictures recently. Now MC truly controls every aspect except gaming on my Home PC. So where's the Steam integration? (jk).
Anyway, some of the pictures have wrong dates attached to them because the camera was misconfigured. This is easily fixable using JRiver Scripts on the Date-field. I'm using:

Code: [Select]

=math(replace([Date,0] + DAYS, /,, .))
=math(replace([Date,0] + math(MINUTES/1440), /,, .))

In case someone should ever search for something like that. However: JRiver does seem to only change the date in its internal library, the actual Date stays unchanged. When I'm syncing the images to somewhere else, I see the old date again. Is this a design decision? Is there a way around it without reexporting the images, which would induce a loss of quality?

We write the new date to the IPTC / XMP tag, but leave the EXIF tag alone.

Next build:
Fixed: Setting the date on an image would always clear the IPTC and XMP tags instead of writing the new date.

Faster than the police. Thank you!

Tools > Options > Theater View >Items to show >Add > External Program

Set it up like in the pictures. Now you have Steam integration.  

Note:  You need to use "Program Files (X86)" in the Programs: line if using a 64-bit OS.

You'd better demo that at Rocky Mountain Audio Fest!

Nice equations - will make some use of those

Matt, how about integrating this into MC natively?
Right Click > Modify Incorrect Dates

and update the EXIF date / time too. Steal some ideas from AcdSee, for me, they have this nailed...

I honestly cannot believe Steam integration is possible in MC. This program keeps boggeling my mind.
