JPG files are working fine but PEF files aren´t.

OS: XP Professional sp3.

Hello !

• Like you can see on THIS PAGE, .PEF (Pentax) is supported at reading only,
and I'm not sure that some possible new variants are…

Kind regards,

Hi Clo

Yes, it is the pentax raw format and it is reading only.
Anyway, timestamp is related with the file system and and don´t rely on any format.

The exception here is that XnView allow EXIF dates as reference values.

I tried to change the timestamp of a file selection that included JPGs and PEFs.
In the end, the JPGs timestamp was changed following the "EXIF - date taken" field while all PEFs received the system time.

Then I checked the Change timestamp window and it really don´t show the EXIF values from PEF files.
This is unexpected as EXIF fields of PEF files are accessible from properties window.

Again

…This is unexpected as EXIF fields of PEF files are accessible from properties window.

• But to write in is not supported I guess…

I´d like anyone to test the "Change timestamp" function with your raw files (pentax, canon, nikon, oly...) and answer this question:

Can you use EXIF dates from your raw files to change it´s timestamp ?

Thanks in advance.

With 1.96 b1 I still have the problem.

I sent you a PEF file.

1.96 beta 4

My main use is the timestamp correction function and its working OK in beta 4.

Anyway, I just tried to change EXIF date taken/digitized/modified from a PEF file and it doesn´t work. With JPG it works.

You can only change EXIF date in jpeg
