Future Dates
Hey,
some files i Uploaded have the wrong date in immich. The date in the file description is correct and the created/last edited info of the file is also correct but immich displays some of them in year 2035 and sets a wrong date in the immich file infos. Recreating the Metadata via the button didn`t work. Has anyone experienced this behaviour? I am currenlty at version v1.132.1

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.Immich does not use filenames for dates
File creation and modification date is low on the priority list of dates, so even if they are right it won't work if a higher priority EXIF value is wrong
You can edit the date in the web GUI, assuming the image is not in a read-only external library
Yeah i can edit them all manually in the webapp, but I am not sure where immich got the wrong date from. I checked all file infos of the original file and they are set to to correct date. I also tried deleting and reuploading and it calculates the same date in 2035, so i want to where the wrong date comes from.
If you could zip up an example and upload it here we can take a look
zip or other way of archive 😛
If you just upload it discord will strip all metadata
I will ask my gf for permission since they are child fotos of here 😄
oh in that case you could try and see yourself
exiftool -G1 -a -s <filename>
exiftool -validate -warning -error -a <filename>
You could | grep 2035
to get a shorter list perhaps 😛Found it. In Linux it states that the year is set to 1969 one year before Unix Timestamp 0. In windows i get the correct time in the file meta data. I will close the thread. Thx for your help
