Windows 10: Some pictures doesnt have date taken field in properties.

Hi. I have some photos on my PC that doesnt have "date taken" field and other fields about origin, camera etc.in properties. Vast majority of them have that but some dont. So I am unable to set that date manually in order to sort them by that date. Pictures with and without that problem are in the same folder. I am wondering why and how to fix it. It seem like windows doesnt recognize them as photos but there is no other problem with them, they show thumbnails as photos etc. The only problem is missing mentioned fields.

How to edit the time in the "Date Taken" field under properties of an image.

Hello,

I am looking for some guidance please on how to edit the time in the "Date Taken" field on the properties of an image. I am working on Windows 10 and when I get into the field by right clicking on the image and selecting properties, I can edit the date in
the "Date Taken" field but there is no option to edit the time. From researching online, I see this used to be done via Windows Live Photo Gallery. As this is no longer available on Windows, how do I change the time in the "Date Taken" field?

All advice welcome and preferably suggestions that do not involve 3rd party apps. This can surely be done somehow through Windows itself?

Thanks.

 

Is 'Date Taken' field available?

Here is what I believe is going on:

1. There is no Search function. For this field or anything else.

2. The Date Taken field is available for viewing under some conditions.

a. If the Date Taken field is not blank, then the Photos app displays this field as 'Date'.

b. If the Date Taken field is blank, the Photos app substitutes data from another field for 'Date'. Not sure what that field is. Could be the Windows file system date. Or maybe the Date Modified field from the jpeg data.

I'd like to see the 'File Info' information extended like this:

1. Make all the jpeg data available.

2. Use an approach like File Explorer/View/Add Columns so we could select which fields to see.

3. Save our selections across sessions.

I'd like to see the Search function added with enough function to do this:

1. Let's says I have a large number of jpegs and I want to find all of the pictures that have all of these:

a. Keyword Tag = Ross

b. Keyword Tag = Rachel

c. Date Taken = 5/15/2003

2. I could start by clicking the tag for 'Ross'.

3. That shows me all of the images with that tag.

4. And also shows me the tags in that subset.

5. I click the 'Rachel' tag.

6. Now I see all the photos with both Ross and Rachel.

7. Finally, I click the Date Taken of 5/15/2003.

8. Giving me just those images taken that day of Ross & Rachel.

9. From there I could create something. Collection, Album, etc.

Those would make for some very nice enhancements.

 

Is 'Date Taken' field available?

Is the jpeg 'Date Taken' field available for viewing/searching?

This field is available as a Column choice in File Explorer.

I did a right click/File Info while looking at an image.

I see some of the jpeg related info - like Dimensions, Shot, ISO.

I'd like to see the Date Taken field if it available somewhere in the app.

Thanks for any help or advice.
