A new version of SetEXIFData , my GUI for exiftool by Phil Harvey , is now available:

v7.1
(12 Sep 2018)

Changes:

- The %y option in 'Retrieve Date/Time from file name' has changed.

• %Y (uppercase) reads max 4 digits.
• %y (lowercase) reads max 2 digits.

Remember: SetEXIFData does not know what is a year or month or... it just reads digits up to the maximum for the current attribute or the first non-digit.

Example 1: 80-09-12 -> %Y will read 80 and add 1900 = 1980
Example 2: 80-09-12 -> %y will read 80 and add 1900 = 1980

Example 3: 1980-09-12 -> %Y will read 1980
Example 4: 1980-09-12 -> %y will read 19 and add 2000 = 2019 and because the next two digits are treated as the month, 80, a completely wrong date will be generated.

Example 5: 800912 -> %Y will read 8009 and because the month will be 12 and the day therefore 0, it will generate a completely wrong date.
Example 6: 800912 -> %y will read 80 and add 1900 = 1980

Example 7: 19800912 -> %Y will read 1980
Example 8: 19800912 -> %y will read 19 and add 2000 = 2019 and because the next two digits are treated as the month, 80, a completely wrong date will be generated.

- The Finder's Date Created and Date Modified, when checked, will not be touched when images have dates from 1969 or before.

Photo and manipulation by me, background artwork from some clip-art library, borders made with ImageFramer.
