« Last post by Mathias (Author) on Today at 09:59:20 »if you recorced the crash ID I might see what caused it.
Hmm Strange there is no code in MC that would make MC continue without user answered anything in the confirmation dialog.

« Last post by Mathias (Author) on Today at 09:54:07 »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

Support and Feedback / Changing date and time sttributes
« Last post by wynford on Yesterday at 00:01:07 »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
