Mysteriously Missing EXIF?

Hi all.
I've just noticed that several of my photos were not renamed accordingly to their corresponding EXIF date as the filename prefix.
When I check via IrfanView - the EXIF info is still embedded inside the picture, but when I check XY's meta tab, the Date taken: info is missing.
I don't have the affected photos right now, but has anyone experienced the similar situation by chance?
Thank you.

XY relies on the shell here, and AFAIK the shell does not always see all EXIF info. If you send me such a picture I can investigate it more closely.

As you can see, both are the same pictures from the same camera, one of them has been edited.
Thank you.

So how did you try to rename them?

Code: Select all
if (<prop CameraModel> == "SAMSUNG PL150 / VLUU PL150 / SAMSUNG TL210 / SAMSUNG PL151") {
//$CameraModel = "test"
//rename b, '<dateexif yyyymmdd.hhnnss>-*¬<prop CameraModel>', p;
rename b, '<dateexif yyyymmdd.hhnnss>-*¬SAMSUNG PL151', p;
}
if (<prop CameraModel> == "808 PureView") {
rename b, '*¬<prop CameraModel>', p;
}
else {
rename b, '<dateexif yyyymmdd.hhnnss>-*¬<prop CameraModel>', p;
}
rename r, "\s{1,100}[.] > ."

Oh no. Couldn't be...
Then can you explain about attached screenshot, why there is no Date taken retrieved from the photo?

Might be caused by the OS, lovely Vista and Co. I'll check that later...

Thank you.
I'm afraid 7 is the mentioned "Co." of Vista

Yep. Internally they are all Vista. "Win7" and "Win8" are just marketing labels for Vista service packs.

OK, tested under Win7 and it is indeed caused by Windows. When you show the shell properties of the files you will see that in one of them the "Date taken" is missing. No idea why but it's nothing I could fix. Ask Microsoft.
