Changing date and time sttributes

wynford:
I want to change the date and time attributes for folders with photos.
It works with the built in MC change attributes.
But with photos, is it possible to add time, a few seconds to minutes, to each subsequent photo.

For example... time 01:23:45, then next file 01:23:50, then next file then 01:23:55... and so one.

It would be great if you can.

I found an app that can do it, but would rather have it built into MC, it's a lot of work with the app.

Thanks

Menu > Tools > Picture Tools > Adjust EXIF Date Information.

Here you can adjust the date for image exif metadata. However it changes to new time or adjust exiting time.. it does not insert random times..

If you just want to change file time and not image metadata.. then you can se MutltiScript

I strip all EXIF from my photos, mainly for security, I have tried Menu > Picture Tools > Adjust EXIF and with no metadata, I guess, doesn't do anything.

I have no idea how to use or what all those things do in User Defined Commands (Multidscript)

I have almost 7000 photos and 1800 photos that I want to change date and time photos from before 01/01/80, the rest are ok, that I have scanned and that windows doesn't show date and time (something about FAT 16) after using Change Properties in the Tools Menu.

I'm not sure that Multiscript supports "advanced" datetime functions like AddSecond, AddMinute etc. Without them it could be quite messy to take care of different edge cases like day change, year change, leap year etc.

NOt built in. but not needed..
MultiScript is using time_t (c /c++ ) time type for date/time..  num of seconds since 1970-01-01
https://multicommander.com/Docs/multiscript/functions/filesystem#getfiletime
https://multicommander.com/Docs/multiscript/functions/datetime

You can just add X seconds to a timestamps and use that with setFileTime

SO if yiu can $currentTime and want to add one minute to that it it is $currentTime += 60;   //add 60 seconds.
