Support and Feedback / Re: Changing date and time sttributes

« Last post by wynford on August 08, 2026, 13:33:30 »

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.

Support and Feedback / Re: Multi Commander startup time is about 70 seconds

Thank you.

P:, W:, and X: are mapped network drives belonging to PCs that are only in use intermittently and are powered off when Multi Commander starts up.
P: causes a startup delay but is not displayed as "offline" within MC; this only happens with W: and X:.
When I bring P: online, W: then causes a startup delay. It seems Multi Commander generally struggles with offline network drives and consequently skips the subsequent offline drives?
I also currently use Total Commander, which does not exhibit this behavior; it always starts quickly and immediately displays P:, W:, and X: as offline drives.

If P: ist offline, it delays startup:

2026-08-08 10:22:06.737 [Device Manager] - Starting to get device information for drive : P
2026-08-08 10:22:30.442 [Device Manager] - Get Device Icon for : P:
2026-08-08 10:22:30.457 [Device Manager] - Processing 'P:\' done
2026-08-08 10:22:30.457 [Device Manager] - Starting to get device information for drive : W
2026-08-08 10:22:30.459 [Device Manager] - Get Device Icon for : W:

2026-08-08 10:22:30.480 [Device Manager] - Starting to get device information for drive : X
2026-08-08 10:22:30.483 [Device Manager] - Get Device Icon for : X:

If P: ist online, now following W: delays startup:

2026-08-08 10:54:36.906 [Device Manager] - Starting to get device information for drive : P
2026-08-08 10:54:36.907 [Device Manager] - Get Device Icon for : P:
2026-08-08 10:54:36.916 [Device Manager] - Processing 'P:\' done
2026-08-08 10:54:36.916 [Device Manager] - Starting to get device information for drive : W
2026-08-08 10:54:57.930 [Device Manager] - Get Device Icon for : W:
2026-08-08 10:54:57.944 [Device Manager] - Processing 'W:\' done
2026-08-08 10:54:57.944 [Device Manager] - Starting to get device information for drive : X
2026-08-08 10:54:57.946 [Device Manager] - Get Device Icon for : X:

Can I change this behavior regarding network drives via configuration?

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.

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

in core setting for logging.. for application log , change loglevel to full.. and you will se in more details in the log., often it is becuse it tries to get information about remote devices that is not reachable.

New MC user here, Multi Commander startup time is about 70 seconds, both installed and portable version. OneDrive is installed and active. Any ideas?
Windows 11, all updates.

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
