File Date Corrector

www.organizepictures.com/2018/08/edit-exif-date-taken offers some good suggestions including XNView and Windows File Explorer

It's a bit hard to tell if this actually does what it says.. I tried out the demo on a small directory, it found files which I knew had wrong dates on them and proposed corrected dates which looked right. So I paid the $20 (which turned into $36 including sales tax which they hadn't advised about in the advertisement), registered it and tried it on a larger directory. The results page columns went off my (23 inch) monitor. I tried to adjust the column widths, they won't adjust. So I can't see on one page,screen what the results are. Then I tried to filter the results by clicking on the column headings (so I could look for the dates that I knew were wrong and check the corrections). It does not have this function. So, I took a deep breath and clicked the "correct" button, hoping that it might at least have a functional results page. But no… 10,000 files, corrected randomly, unable to be sorted to check them. So, I look for a facility to be export a log. Oh, there isn't one. So, I tried to copy the contents of this screen. It is uncopyable. (Along the way though, I found that if you click on an item it does not highlight the row, only that cell) And I can't take a screenshot because it goes off the monitor.

What use is a piece of software that you can't tell whether it is working or what it has done? If they can't even manage to provide basic facilities that is in just about every piece of software available, they don't inspire much confidence in the functionality of what it is supposed to do. Lucky I backed up beforehand. So I can manually compare the 2 directories using some other, functional, software.
