time_format - Context menu entry "Copy Date Taken" vs "Date Taken"

Post by tuska »

Hi,

Menü "Tools" > Options... > Advanced > Show settings containing: time_format > "Value for time_format":

Code: Select all

hh:mm:ss:SSS
tt = AM or PM.
Context menu entry "Copy Date Taken" creates: 2024-01-01 15:38:19 *) .... according to EXIF of .JPG file
Column "Date Taken" shows the following ......: 01.01.2024 03:38:19:640 = PM according to EXIF of .JPG file

How can I set the time format so that 01.01.2024 15:38:19 is displayed in the "Date Taken" column in the search result?
Regional format: German (Germany)

Option: How can I display "AM" or "PM" in the time format?
Unfortunately, my attempts have failed.

*)
Context menu entry "Copy Date Taken" does not bring the entire content according to the set time format (hh:mm:ss:SSS).
IS .......: 2024-01-01 15:38:19
SHOULD: 2024-01-01 15:38:19:640

I would like to be able to copy the entire field content with this function.
(If this is not possible, then I would extract the content using the 'Textify' tool, for example).

I would like to ask for your support.

Please try the following time_format:

h:mm:ss tt

SSS is not supported by GetTimeFormat.



SSS is a hack that is only supported in:

HH:mm:ss.SSS
-or-
HH:mm:ss.SSSSSSS

Mmh, here I get the following display in the "Date Taken" column (without "PM"):
01.01.2024 03:38:19

I haven't been able to reproduce the issue.

I wonder what is going on..



Could you please try the following time formats:

hh:mm:ss' 'tt
hh:mm:ss ABC
(does this show the ABC text in the date taken field?)
'hh:mm:ss'
(does this show the literal 'hh:mm:ss' text in the date taken field?)



What does your Windows regional options look like?
What options are available for Long time? -Do they have an option for: h:mm:ss tt

'hh:mm:ss'		OK

AM/PM would only have served as a workaround for me.
So we can tick this topic ("tt") off.

-------------------------
My real problem is the display of the hours in the results list:
Context menu entry "Copy Date Taken" creates: 2024-01-01 15:38:19 ....... according to EXIF of .JPG file
Column "Date Taken" shows the following ......: 01.01.2024 03:38:19:640 = PM according to EXIF of .JPG file

⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺
Instead of the display of "03:38:19:640", I would ideally like to see "15:38:19:640" or "15:38:19".
⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺⸺

Please check.

Does the following time_format work?

HH:mm:ss:SSS



Alternatively, leave time_format blank and change your system short time format.

Yes. :)
Thank you very much!

HH (Capital letters did the trick).
There is a detailed description in the tooltip anyway - unfortunately I had overlooked this parameter. :?

HH:mm:ss:SSS | Date taken | 01.01.2024 15:38:19:640
hh:mm:ss:SSS  | Date taken | 01.01.2024 03:38:19:640

For some reason, I thought you wanted to view as 03:38:19:640 PM

Glad to hear this is now sorted.
