  1. Windows search for photos without a “date taken" entry


    So, I know that I can do a windows search for a specific date taken when searching through my photos. But, I would like to search for all of the photos which do not have a date taken entry in its properties. Is there a way to do that? If so, Which syntax would I use in the search bar to do this? I Suppose that I could simply sort by date taken within the folder and then select all of the ones with blank entries that way, but there are a lot of different folders and doing this over and over would be extremely time consuming.

    :)

    How to organize photos by Date Taken AND Date Modified

    Hi.

    I have over 2000 photos on a jump drive that I have imported over the past 5 years. I'm trying to organize them by chronological order with "Date Modified" but there was a glitch and about 200 photos all have the same date when they were taken in a span
    of 4 months. I tried organizing them by "Date Taken" but screenshot photos don't have a "Date Taken" timestamp. Is there a way I can organize photos by "Date Taken" AND organize photos by "Date Modified" (if they don't have "Date Taken.")

    Any other suggestions or third party programs that converts the "Date Taken" TO "Date Modified"????

    Let me know if this isn't clear!

    Thanks.

    Rachel

    Search for photos without photo date on Windows 10

    On Windows 10, it is fairly easy to search for photos taken within some date range. However, I would like to search for all photos that are missing metadata on when the photo was taken. Is there any way I can do that?

    Photo App ignoring Date Taken of pictures

    I file my Pictures in folders for Year. Within the Year, pictures are filed by Date Taken.

    When I open the Photo App, the pictures are listed by Year, but not in Date Taken sequence.

    Win 10 up to date
