How to use whatsapp-media-date-to-exif tool to parse image date
Hi there
I see this discussion about Whatsapp images having incorrect
/missing date info
:
https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/9116
. In it
, someone posted a script to automatically parse the date from the file name
:
https://github.com/icecore2/whatsapp-media-date-to-exif
My question is
, on which version of the image should I run this script
? Should I run it on the original images on my phone
- how would I do that
? Should I run it on the
${UPLOAD_LOCATION}/library
${UPLOAD_LOCATION}/library
folder recursively
?
