Re: MTP transfer DATA LOSS

Digging out an old topic. But note that MTP transfer is handled by Windows, not by XYplorer. /... / XYplorer does nothing more than telling Windows: "Move these files from here to here!" Is this the reason why creation dates are not preserved while copying files from phone to PC? Just need...

Re: Rename picture and video files using EXIF and <datemedia>

You could try a CFA as follows: |"Rename with EXIF date && filename" \;*>::rename b, '<dateexif ddmmyyyy_HHnnss>_*' Just additional question: what do these parts do which I have marked with bold blue? | "Rename with EXIF date && filename" \;*>:: rename b, '<datee...

Rename picture and video files using EXIF and <datemedia>

I'm struggling to find proper command to batch rename currently selected picture and video files. So for example if picture has file name "DSC_001.JPG" and creation date from EXIF is "15.02.2023 16:34:22" then final name for file would be "15022023_163422_DSC_001.JPG" F...

Re: Video info to change file creation time

I'd rather shift it first, then stamp it: $mcdate = formatdate(property("System.Media.DateEncoded"),,h,2); timestamp c, $mcdate; One more thing. Commands above set same timestamp for all selected files. How could I run it that each file gets their own timestamp? I tried to mess with quota...

Re: Video info to change file creation time

Thanks :tup: Now I need to figure out how to use it for renaming files as well. This annoys me if device makes filenames as MOV_001 or DSC_001 or similar and not using actual time stamp for it and may cause accidental loss by overwriting files with these kind of names. (And then find a way to set it...

Re: Video info to change file creation time

Brilliant! I've tried it together with "text" in front and also together with <> marks around it to no avail. Didn't realize to remove "text" part. But seems that this date is stored as UTC or something as if I set it to creation date then time set is 08:59 instead of 10:59 and i...

Re: Video info to change file creation time

Thanks for quick reply. Unfortunately words "scripting" and "me" do not fit into same sentence :D. Max I can do is: timestamp c, '<dateexif>'; or timestamp m, '<datec>'; So any help using property given above placed in correct way together with additional commands and attributes ...

Video info to change file creation time

Hi and Happy New Year! I stumbled upon issue where file timestamps are not correct, meaning if there are copy actions made outside XYplorer then it does no preserve file timestamps (modified and created) and changes them to time when copy action is made. This is one of top features (besides the many...

Mouse clicks in Catalog section with relative paths not working properly

There seems to be some buggy changes regarding mouse clicks and/or relative paths from version 23.10 in Catalog Section. In previous versions if there was relative path to some file or program in Catalog section using "..\..\Program\Program.exe" I could use middle click to open that file l...

Re: No support \\wsl$

Yeah I saw other post as well but by mentioning not working with mapped drives in title I thought this one here would be better to describe my problem as it's working fine with "mapped drive" with assigned drive letter :P. Also in my case that \\SERVER is same subnet, just different IP (19...

Re: No support \\wsl$

I have same issue with v20.60. When typing \\SERVER on address bar - "Location currently not available." So I have to mount network share to be able to connect network shares. And it works fine with 20.50.100 and on Windows Explorer too. Win 10 v1809 64bit.
