Uh oh!
There was an error while loading. Please reload this page.
I have searched the existing feature requests, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate request.
The feature
Description:
When manually editing an asset's date and time, please add a button (e.g., "Use EXIF Date") that automatically populates the form fields with the original timestamp from the image's EXIF data (like DateTimeOriginal ).
This saves a lot of time and prevents errors when correcting the timestamps for large numbers of photos that have the wrong time set.
Key points:
Add a button near the date/time input fields in the edit dialog.
On click, it reads the value from the DateTimeOriginal (or similar) EXIF tag that Immich already stored during upload.
It then fills the date and time form fields with that value.
The user can then choose to save this suggested time or further adjust it manually.
This is a simple but hugely helpful quality-of-life improvement for managing photo libraries.
