Bug ID: 459874
Summary: Feature request: being able to filter or search
pictures without a date in the metadata
Classification: Applications
Product: digikam
Version: 7.9.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: Searches-Dates
Assignee: digikam-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: iwannaber...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The advanced search and the filter panels are already quite complete, but I
have a user case which I cannot carry out using digikam right now.
I would like to be able to find which pictures do not have an EXIF or XMP date.
Sometimes I (or someone else using the picture library) receive pictures via
instant messaging, which do not contain any metadata. I usually use the Adjust
Time Date tool to set the date (otherwise the date ends up being the file
creation or modification date), but I know there must be hundreds of pictures
without a date in the metadata, and need to be fixed.
I don't know exactly how could that be carried out in digikam. Maybe an "Images
without date" in the Filters panel, and then inside a list of checkboxes for
the different dates (EXIF creation, original, digitized, and the same for ITPC
and XMP). Or maybe adding a "Date" section in the Advanced Search, I don't
know.
On the other hand, I don't even know if these specific fields are saved in the
database or are read from the picture on the go.
For the moment, I use a exiftool script that lists pictures without date in a
given folder.
