The way that I would do it is:
As you view an image in one window, use exiv2 in another window to add
(or change) the exif timestamp.
It would require extremely huge amount of time -- doing this by hand for
every file and all. Also, the jpegs do not have an exiv2 header in them
(at least not that I know of; scanned from negatives), but I would
suppose it is easy to add an empty header via a shell script.
(Then, after doing that to all the files, I would use exiv2 to rename
them based upon the timestamp. But that's just me.)
I don't know is MS Windows "resets" the file order when you log off or
change directories thus forcing you not to be able to do anything else
in Explorer until you complete that task, but the method I propose
definitely does not force you to keep that window open the whole time.
Well, how I get around this problem is to distribute the images in a
number of folders (around 20 in my case) based on the time-line (or
event) once. This is done by drag and drop using the thumbnail view.
That way I just have to sort contents of one folder at a time (involving
around 20~60 or so images). This makes the problem much more tractable
in Windows. Within that one folder, I drag and drop the images into
their proper order and then rename them (they get renamed in the order I
had placed them) so that they have a name something like event_nnnn.jpeg
where nnnn is a sequence starting from 0001.
