Photos with non ascii names don't have any metadata copied #44

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use non ascii characters in a photo title (ex. accented vowels)
2. Use the default file naming scheme (title as the name)
3. Use photoshare with "Export metadata" marked

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should add metadata to the photos but it doesn't. The file creation date is 
also wrong.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.4.7 on Mac OSX 10.8.2.

Please provide any additional information below.

I'm sorry, but I was wrong. The title seems not to be related with the bug. 
Some images get their date wrong and some of them simply won't get any 
metadata. I found out those that have a wrong date are those that were modified 
in iPhoto (they are taking the date of the modified file, as revealed in finder 
from iPhoto), instead of taking the date that iPhoto shows (nor the date of the 
original file). I'm sorry I diagnosed the issue wrong when opening the issue.

I thing found out that I can run a two step process to solve this:

exiftool -overwrite_original "-modifydate<datetimeoriginal" <files> (which sets 
modifydate correctly but updates filemodifydate to the current time)

exiftool -overwrite_original "-filemodifydate<datetimeoriginal" <files> (which 
sets filemodifydate to the same date)

So it seems Finder is displaying modifydate or filemodifydate.

This is deliberate, to track modifications to the file. This is the only way 
other tools, like Google Picasa, Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Bridge, etc. reliably 
pick up update to the file. Those tools do the same thing, e.g. every time you 
modify meta data in Adobe Lightroom, the file times change.

To properly track the time the picture was taken, look at the capture time in 
the file metadata. All the tools mentioned above, as well as iPhoto and 
Aperture, use the capture time, too, for sorting and display. They all ignore 
the file time stamps.
