Primary focus of this App is the functionality to reset the upload Date of picture and video Files to their original creation date.
More Features may be coming
Some Apps and third party clients are not setting the upload/modification Date within the owncloud correctly when uploading pictures or videos.
This makes it impossible to sort Picture/Videos by Date (eg if you have a Folder of Vacation Pictures)
This App uses the Exif Tags or Filename to recover the original creation Date of the File.
Images taken by Cameras or Phones usually have Metadata in form of EXIF Tags that can be used to extract the original creation date.
In case of Videos, this is unfortunately not possible.
For Videos (or Images without EXIF Tags) we try to use the Filename to extract the creation Date if the File. Because most Cameras or phones use the Date in some form in the Filename.
set the date.timezone Variable in the php.ini!
| Problem | Comment |
|---|---|
| Timezones are a Problem | this is not a substantial Problem, because they will still be in the correct order when sorted by Date |
| Does not work with external Storages | Support for external Storage is planned |
