Suggestion

rename Date
- unify naming to 'Date created'
- use 'File:', 'EXIF:', etc (or use space instead of semicolon) when it's required to define further

• Browser > View > Sort by
  - Date → Date modified (switch to Details view to check that Date = Modified date)
  - Created Date → Date created

• Browser > View > View as [Details] > Header
  same in tools (eg Batch convert)
  - Modified date → Date modified
  - Created date → Date created

• Properties > Properties tab
  - Creation date/time → Date/time created
  - Modified date/time → Date/time modified
  - Accessed date/time → Date/time accessed

• Settings > View > Info > ▶
  - Accessed date → Date accessed
  - Modified date → Date modified
  - Created date → Date created
  - Placeholder - Create Date and Modify Date → META: Date created and META: Date modified ? (▶ > Extra)

• Change timestamp
  - File: Created date → File: Date created
  - File: Modified date → File: Date modified

• Settings > Interface > StatusBar
  - File date → Date (as there are 2 comboboxes right after this label with File/EXIF options)

• misc
  Creation date → Date created
  Modification date → Date modified

rename Ratio

• Settings > View > Info > ▶
  - Width/Height Ratio → Ratio Width/Height (▶ > Image)
  - Height/Width Ratio → Ratio Height/Width (▶ > Image)

Example

• XnViewMP, digiKam, windows file explorer
  metadata_date.png

• ExifTool
  • ExifTool: File

    Code: Select all

    File Modification Date/Time
    File Access Date/Time
    File Creation Date/Time

  • ExifTool: EXIF Tags (spec)
  • ExifTool: IPTC Tags (spec)
  • ExifTool: XMP Tags (spec)

After that, i'll change my settings... Language>English

Can you compare Exiftool's names and those you suggest ?

[xnview]

in ExifTool, we have

Code: Select all

Modification Date/Time
Access Date/Time
Creation Date/Time

better than

Code: Select all

Modified date/time
Accessed date/time
Creation date/time

maybe like this?

• File date/time
  follow the way it is worded in Windows

• Exif, IPTC, XMP date/time
  leave as is
