Is there any explanation anywhere for the change "Change timestamp and video"? I searched in the forum and the documentation, but didn't find anything.

In the above changelog there are links to the topics. From what I can see "Change timestamp and video" is fixed in 2.30 and discussed in topic "Change Timestamp" time calculation bug.

Guten tag, Helmut. Yes, I noticed the links to the topics by some of the changelog entries; the lack of one next to "Change timestamp and video" is why I posed my question. The 2.30-related topic you link to doesn't say anything about videos, but perhaps it is indeed talking about the right issue, and the 2.37 changelog entry should have read "Fix 'Change Timestamp' DST bug on videos".

Yes, I also guess the problem described in topic "Change Timestamp" & DST was addressed in this change. Perhaps Pierre can confirm this.

Horrible bug.
I have a mouse wheel is used for "the next / previous file." In version 2.37, if the files in the directory are HiDPI files, then the mouse wheel "forget" about it and change the scale. Mode often changes itself in a single session. I returned to version 2.36, which is all right.

This indeed severe bug has been reported before and will be fixed in XnView 2.37.1, soon.

Sounds like this bug: “Change Timestamps fails after file without exif date” (reported in 2014)
