PhotoStructure ignored the date metadata of some photos, marked them as taken in 2002

With exiftool it shows my DateTimeOriginal is “1998: : 00:00:00”. That’s two spaces after the first colon and three spaces after the second colon. I don’t see any messages about this being a bad format in the debug but PS doesn’t use it. I’m going to script something to fix this with exiftool since I have the date I want in the filename, but I just wanted to mention in case you want to take a look at see if it ps could handle partial dates better.

Interesting, I’ve never seen that format before: it’s always been something like “1998:0:0” if only the year is set.

I’ll add this as a format that PhotoStructure knows how to parse. Thanks for sharing!

Using either root or node acct I get the same error. Is there some environment I need to set up using docker after I’ve connected to info photostructure commands?

Are you attaching to a currently running container by using docker exec? If you’re using docker run, you need to remember to include the bind mounts.

Also: make sure you’re using a :prealpha build (just for now, until I get this release out and set to :stable)–it should have much better error messages when things aren’t set up as it expects, thanks to the new health check system.
