--- Comment #9 from Thomas <filigra...@gmail.com> --- Just to add for future readers: I solved this by first adjusting my dates to what I want them to be, then creating sidecars for all my phone video files (xmp files), and added metadata for xmp:CreateDate and xmp:ModifyDate using exiftool. Command, if it helps anyone, that I use for creating sidecars is (\ is just for splitting command over multiple lines): exiftool -P -progress -ext mp4 \ -tagsfromfile @ \ -filemodifydate \ -createdate \ -modifydate \ -datetimeoriginal \ -srcfile %d%f.xmp \ <dir> This creates <filename without extension>.xmp for all mp4 files in <dir>. Perhaps this can be simplified, still figuring exiftool out, but it works for me. Apparently Digikam reads these sidecars instead of the files if they exist, so it ignores the dates of the files and sorts them accordingly. A bit annoying to have to do so, but I will most likely tag most of my photos anyway, so a sidecar would be created either way. Another annoying thing is it _ONLY_ reads the metadata from sidecars, not just the data present in the sidecar, and any other data from the file. This would be preferable from my point of view. Since I only added the two tags to my files, the metadata properties look like this: https://i.postimg.cc/T3MrXdz6/sidecar-exists.png While any file not having a sidecar is shown like this: https://i.postimg.cc/mgY7Zx4F/sidecar-non-existant.png Not even the duration is shown for my files with sidecars. This should, IMO, be read from the file if it is not in the sidecar. Perhaps there is a reason for this behavior? Might look into this later. For now it works. This can probably be done from within digikam as well, perhaps using the batch process or metadata editor to shift the time and add an xmp. But I want this automated when importing my files from my cameras/devices (and I do not use digikam to import my files). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
