adjust Capture date and sorting
« on: February 22, 2012, 05:35:34 AM »
I have some older tranparancies that I scanned.
With Tools: Adjust Caputure Date I changed the modification time -> the original capture time.

One particular image was taken in 1969.

When I sort by capture time this particular image shows up at the end of the sort (newest date) instead of in front of the sort.
I found out that dates from januari 1 - 1970 and newer wil be sorted correctly.
When I change it to december 31 1969 it shows up as newest.

A bug?

It is more likely that your scanned image doesn't contain the necessary capture time tag in it so PM was unable to update it.  Are you also adjusting any of the other times?

Well, I am only updating the date.  I have other pictures treated the same, without problems.

This is the content of the Caption field (after applying the stationary pad):

weggetje op de Huizermeent
location: Huizen, Meent richting Blaricum
N52°17.063' - E5°15.799'
capture date: 19-3-1969
Diascan Nikon LS-40

So there should be a valid capture time. 

When I change the date (not the time) to: januari 1 1970 it is sorted correcty (in front of the row; oldest cature time)

We're able to reproduce the problem and are looking into the issue.
