However, I'm not happy with the date of some of the pictures

Information
In order to be able to effectively help you, we need you to provide clear information to show what the problem is. The exact details needed vary per case, but here is a list of things to consider:
- Your docker-compose.yml and .env files.
- Logs from all the containers and their status (see above).
- All the troubleshooting steps you've tried so far.
- Any recent changes you've made to Immich or your system.
- Details about your system (both software/OS and hardware).
- Details about your storage (filesystems, type of disks, output of commands like fdisk -l
and df -h
).
- The version of the Immich server, mobile app, and other relevant pieces.
- Any other information that you think might be relevant.
Please paste files and logs with proper code formatting, and especially avoid blurry screenshots.
Without the right information we can't work out what the problem is. Help us help you ;)
If this ticket can be closed you can use the /close
command, and re-open it later if needed.@Rick69 you can edit the date on any picture
I'm just a user and don't know much about it. I'm using version 1.131.3
I just wanted to say that the date of my pictures is not correct.
I'll keep testing.
Immich is running on my qnap NAS in Docker
my English as well as my computer skills are not good
You'll probably want to set a TZ env var: https://immich.app/docs/install/environment-variables#general
Is it the time or the date? If it's just the time, it's probably the TZ variable, if it's the date as well, then by how much is it off? 1 day? whole years?
To edit a single image press the "i" icon:

the problem is, the picture is called for example:2018-03-29-20-52-16-890.jpg and ends up in immich at Monday March 24, 2025.
Why or do the pictures have to be renamed?
Well where did it come from?
If you downloaded it from somewhere and it does not contain a CreationDate or DateTaken or any other date identifier, then immich will just take the FileCreationDate, which is when you saved it to your disk
Regardless of what the file is called, because that's not considered at all
What can I do?
For starters, where do the pictures come from?
I had the pictures on my NAS (mostly from the Kammera cell phone), then copied them to a cloud and then let me access the cloud.
Couldn't it also search for file names?
It’s technically possible but not something we do. It’s better to set that data with exiftool before upload
ok
