Renaming
« on: February 25, 2014, 02:13:12 PM »
I ingested and named all of the photos in a large file before correcting the time and date. Now the times and date in the label on the photo are different than the same info in the IPTC file. Is there any way I can correct this without doing a total rename of the whole file, which includes 7 or 8 different location names. I am using PM5 Build 15277 with Win7-64.

What do your filenames look like now?  Without some examples I won't be able to make any solid recommendations.

There are currently no modification date/time variables in Photo Mechanic.
