Date Taken-field not extracted

Postby svendk » Mon Jan 19, 2015 1:54 pm

I have a bunch of photos taken on the same date, and Windows Explorer (Win7) can see the Date Taken timestamp.
I load up BRU and set Auto Date to Prefix, Taken (Original or Digitized) but no date comes up. If I choose one of the other Types, a date comes up, but I need the Taken date.

What can be the problem?

An example photo is here: http://postimg.org/image/62vjjxr77/

Best regards

I of cause already searched (which, btw, doesn't work for me. No result no matter what search team and if on the front page or int BRU Support forum).
Searched the BRU Support forum manually (browser find text), but nothing of help.

date taken extract (Options / Extract / ExifData)

Mystery :wink:


For me [ date taken extract ] finds some thread, e.g.:

http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2302&p=5974&hilit=date+taken+extract#p5974
Options / Extract / ExifData
Then restart or refresh-filenames
See the Taken-column to see the Exif's DateTaken



Also, searching for [ taken ] the BRU help yield me:
Options Menu > Extract Exif Data
Use this option to say whether or not EXIF tags will be extracted from photographs.
At present only Date Taken, Aperture, Exposure, Focal Length, Exposure Compensation and Comments are extracted, but even this can slow down the processing a lot.
If you don't need these fields then leave this option un-ticked to speed up the processing.
Only files with the following extensions are processed: .JPG, .JPEG, .TIF, .TIFF, .CRW, .CR2, .NEF.



And googling for [ bru date taken extract ] give me also some results.
