Assign date from album name
I have a ton of assets with the date "Dec 31, 1" – where the original has no EXIF date, but is in a folder with correct date because I used
immich-go with the -create-album-folder option.
Is there any way to update the date on all these assets to match the folder name?
The docs say that "Immich-go tries to determine the date of capture with the file name, or the file path" – but that does not seem to be working.
Thanks!

Is this an Immich question or an immich-go one?
Both, really. Wondering if there's a way to fix within
immich. I also linked in #immich-goThis is the date all these items show.
So is there any way to batch fix bad dates?
You can use exiftool before you upload
Immich had no way to batch change date but not time
Sorry – too many negatives for me – are you saying there is no way to batch fix dates? (I don't care about time) Thanks
Also I now have a bunch of these 'grey assets' that cannot be opened, edited, or deleted, plus this warning when I try to view them.
If I fix EXIF with exiftool – and then re-upload – will that replace the bad asset with the good one?
you can multiselect files in the web view and change date/time that way
You should probably figure out why you have missing/grey assets, and no, it will not auto replace
I cannot select one or any of those grey blocks.
