Originally created by @daniele-athome on GitHub (Sep 21, 2023).

The bug

The time buckets feature currently uses assets.fileCreatedAt which is the file creation date. If EXIF date/time information is available for an asset, taht should be used instead.

The OS that Immich Server is running on

Debian

Version of Immich Server

v1.79.0

Version of Immich Mobile App

(not applicable)

Platform with the issue

  • Server
  • Web
  • Mobile

Your docker-compose.yml content

(not applicable)

Your .env content

(not applicable)

Reproduction steps

1. Import some pictures with file timestamp different from exif timestamp using an external library
2. Wait for the jobs to finish and open the timeline

@daniele-athome commented on GitHub (Sep 21, 2023):

Sorry I was too rush. I saw that the metadata extraction job updates fileCreatedAt after extracting the tags:

    await this.assetRepository.save({
      id: asset.id,
      duration: tags.Duration ? Duration.fromObject({ seconds: tags.Duration }).toFormat('hh:mm:ss.SSS') : null,
      fileCreatedAt: exifData.dateTimeOriginal ?? undefined,
    });

It seems like a hack though, especially with new libraries feature which can now handle file system assets. Or maybe I'm overthinking it :-)

That column has always represented when a photo was taken. Working as intended.
