EXIF date limitation

[dlundy4]

Hello.   I'm running PM4.433, and have a problem with the several thousand slides and family snaps I have inherited and taken.   Many of these go back to the 1930's and earlier.   However, PM has a lower limit of Jan 1st, 1971.  If I use Exifer to change the (scanned, thus empty) JPG EXIF 'date taken' it will work fine until I ask PM to rename the file based on EXIF date.   Can you change the EXIF date lower limit to 1901 (for example)?    Thanks in advance,

Dave

Could you send me a sample image that has the 'date taken' set to the early 20th century so I can test with it?  Contact me privately by clicking on my name to the left of this message, then click on the 'personal message' link.  I will respond with server upload info.

I am having the same problem with PM v 4.5.4.  When using the "Tools\Adjust Capture Dates and Times" option, the earliest date that can be entered is 1/1/1971.  This is a problem for all of the scanned photos that I am trying to organize.  Capture date is used by Picassa (among other applications), so this presents an problem......
