Ability to Edit Taken Date

[Electro707]

Enhancement

It would be nice to edit the "Take Date", in the case of the photo not having that metadata for example

I am not sure if we want to allow editing the displayed exif data.
There is the ability to edit the upload date though.
For the takedate, it is not much of a change, but I don't have time as I am working mostly on releasing v6.

I can take a look at v5

I would not suggest to touch the v5 given how close the v6 is. There will be no backward compatibility to v5 front-end, functions etc. v4 legacy interface will probably be still available though. But all the livewire stuff will be gone.

I can also, after adding it in v5, see if I can also implement it in V6

Go directly for the v6 route, skip v5.

Files to modify are:

• backend:

  • https://github.com/LycheeOrg/Lychee/blob/v6/app/Contracts/Http/Requests/RequestAttribute.php
  • https://github.com/LycheeOrg/Lychee/blob/v6/app/Http/Controllers/Gallery/PhotoController.php
  • https://github.com/LycheeOrg/Lychee/blob/v6/app/Http/Requests/Photo/EditPhotoRequest.php

• frontend:

  • https://github.com/LycheeOrg/Lychee/blob/v6/resources/js/components/drawers/PhotoEdit.vue
  • https://github.com/LycheeOrg/Lychee/blob/v6/resources/js/services/photo-service.ts

This should give you quite a head start.

I'm not sure how the ordering works in the background but is it enough that one pic has taken date to order the albums?
Another question is: should there be indication that taken date has been edited by lychee?

That is more of my wonder indeed. Should there be a flag that exif data have been tempered with. :)

In theory yes.

This would make it a lot more usable as replacment to google photos as I frequently have to update multiple image created dates to be in correct timezone/time as camera photos are not always in sync with phone files
