Batch "date" update

Hi, i want migrate an old site to zp, but when i upload the old jpeg images with no exif data i can't change "date" info from today to the correct date ...for every images one-by one. Now, i can do some [[SQL UPDATE ...SET date = 'yyyy-mm-dd 00:00:00' where albumid = X]] action, but i suggest to insert an "apply to image contained in album" button where i can change album date. Approx for 900 album and 25000 images from 1976 up today. Latest images have correct Exif data, but oldest no.

    So is that old site also a Zenphoto site? Actually the filedate should be used if the image has no exif date attached. (btw, for adding exif data to image there are lots of tools out there).

    The image edit tab is the only "batch" editor of images we provide. I think that for what you want, the SQL query is the best bet. We certainly do not have much call for this capability and would recommend doing this edit to the image EXIF/IPTC data itself anyway to prevent future needs to do it again. Adobe Bridge for one is fairly convenient for doing this; but not, maybe, for 25000 images.

    ...maybe do with GraphicConverter?

    Whatever you want to use, there are dozens of EXIF capable tools out there.
