Reproduction steps

This file was among the thousands of files in my external library when scanning.

Additional information

I have tried uploading the same image to my personal library, but it is disregarded, probably because it already exists in the external library.

Hmm look like a bug as I see you have DateTimeOriginal as well. Do you mind sharing the file?

This might be related to my issue #7904. And I noticed just yesterday that if I on mobile open some people, there are bunch of old photos grouped e.g. in date 23.11.2022 but opening the photos and displaying their info shows their dates are in 2005, 2006, 2017... etc. It really feels like different parts of Immich use different kind of dates and that creates this mess...

I have just noticed the same issue.
Seems that Immich is using FIleLastModified instead of FileTimeCreated (incorrect name for both, but it keeps the meaning) in my case.

@LucaTheHacker commented on GitHub (Mar 30, 2024): I have just noticed the same issue. Seems that Immich is using FIleLastModified instead of FileTimeCreated (incorrect name for both, but it keeps the meaning) in my case.

@LucaTheHacker yes, in my example the only (visible) tag pointing to 2022 is FileModifyDate, which shouldn't be considered by Immich at all.

@alextran1502 could you deduct anything from the image?

Same issue here, I added multiple scanned images to an external library where I added the correct dates to exif manually and it placed them to today due to the modified date.

@Roadrunner67 can you help me zip the original file up and share on here? When I downloaded the file above, the EXIF data is not intact

Have a similar issue. Just imported a ton of photos from an external source. The exif data contains the correct creation date, but the timeline says today (I'm using v1.103.0 though).

@highghlow can you zip the file up and throw it on here so I can use it for troubleshoot the code?

It turns out only some photos in my backup had an exif date attached. The images that have a date attached are in the correct position on the timeline. It's not an issue with Immich.

I'm using iPhone

image

Same image, shows different date. ( it's a screenshot btw

  "DateTimeOriginal": "2024:06:28 14:27:11",
  "FileModifyDate": "2024:06:28 14:27:11+10:00",

But, if it's a photo, it has SubSecDateTimeOriginal with timezone info

  "SubSecDateTimeOriginal": "2024:06:28 21:22:42.299+10:00",

I'm not sure if it's related or not, but while my photos end up in the right days based (or at least I haven't noticed errors at this level of timestamp granularity) on their DateTimeOriginal EXIF data, they are not ordered correctly by time. The time displayed in the UI for the photos is all over the place as you go from one photo to the next. I can provide additional detail or screenshots if helpful.

These are all photos imported from an external library on a read-only file system taken with a Pentax K-1 DSLR.
