P: Import seems to misinterpret EXIF date time

My setting: Ventura 13.0.1 (on M1 MacBook) and LR Classic 12.0.1

When I import *new* images from an iPhone, the import dialog shows *all* images (see separate bug report) and:

1. it shows images in an abritrary order despite the option "sort by date". It seems as the sort takes some other information, but not the true datetime.

2. when it come to organize the images into subfolders by date, the images are moved to the wrong folders!! For example, I have not taken any picutre today, but the dialog shows 48 images to be inserted to the folder 2022-11-27. Looks like random behavior....

The import works fine in 11.x and before. I did not change any settings.

Best regards,

Erik

Two workarounds I know of:

- Use the Mac Image Capture utility to transfer the photos from the phone to a temporary folder on your computer. Then import into LR from the temporary folder.

- Install the LR Mobile app on your phone, in the app's Settings > Import > Auto Add From Camera Roll, set the options Photos and Videos. In LR Classic's Settings > Lightroom Sync, set these options:

Then turn on Cloud Sync (the cloud icon in the upper-right corner).

This is something that I did not expect. I decided you use some photos taken by iPhone camera App and deleted useless pictures. As my library was rather big (+7000) and browsing by iPhone itself is rather slow, I decided to import the whole library and clean up the mess on the big screen. In general, it was working beside one point - capture date. I don't know why some pictures with the correct capture date in Exif are organized during import in the absolutely wrong folder. Eg.

Unfortunately, we are not talking about one photo but a few hundreds of them. I do not have any idea how to reorganize them in a painless way. I am not yet sure if recommended to me Any Filter plugin is able to at least search for files with the criteria: "capture the date does not match the folder name". But if yes - this is significant but only part of the job.

Can you post a screenshot of the Metadata Panel for that image that you show in your first screenshot? Make sure that the metadata panel view is set to EXIF.

Ich benutze Lightrom Classic 12.1 für Mac OS mit Ventura 13.1.

Seit dem Update von Version 11 auf 12 habe ich ein Problem beim Importieren von Fotos vom iPhone per USB-Kabnel.

Ich habe eingestellt, dass die Bilder in Ordner mit dem Aufnahmedatum inportiert werden. Dies hat bisher immer bestens funktioniert. Aber nach dem Update erzeugt das Programm beim Importieren Ordner mit Datumsnamen, die teilweise überhaupt nichts mit dem Aufnahmedatum zu tun haben.

Wenn ich dagegen die Fotos zunächst in einen gemeinsamen Ordner importiere, sie zunächst wieder aus Lightroom entferne und dann aus diersem Ordner nochmal importiere, stimmen die Ordnernamen.

Dieses Prozedere ist ja nun wirklich umständlich und ich frage mich, wie ich dies vermeiden kann.

Ich habe im englisch-sprchigen Forum gelesen, dass dies ein bekanntes Problem beim Importieren mit USB-Kabel sei. Frage ich mich nur, warum es vor dem Udate bei mir geklappt hat!?

Google translation: "I am using Lightrom Classic 12.1 for Mac OS with Ventura 13.1. Since updating from version 11 to 12, I have problem importing photos from iPhone via USB cable.

I have set the images to be imported into folders based on the date they were taken. This has always worked well so far. But after the update, the program creates folders with date names when importing, some of which have nothing to do with the recording date at all. If, on the other hand, I first import the photos into a shared folder, first remove them from Lightroom and then import them again from this folder, the folder names are correct. This procedure is really cumbersome and I'm wondering how I can avoid this. I read in the English-speaking forum that this is a known problem when importing with a USB cable. I'm just wondering why it worked for me before the update!?"

Mac OS 13 introduced this specific problem with importing from Iphones via USB cables:

This very serious issue was pointed out to Adobe months ago but it persists. A new LRC was just issued (12.1) with the same problem. Also, a new Apple iOS was released last week (16.2)--no change, still doesn't work. Curious how many thousands of LRC catalogs have been totally messed up because of this.

@Rikk Flohr: Photography, please consider moving into Bugs.

There people here have reported that importing directly from an iPhone via USB cable into LR 12 / Mac OS 13 puts the photos into incorrectly named dated folders. I can't test this because I can't get a Mac OS 13 virtual machine to recognize the USB connection to the phone.

@johnrellis I've done a couple of sets of imports (iPhone 13, and iPhone 14) to 2022 MBP on 12.6.2 and to 2021 MBA 13.0.1. Connect via Lightroom via Lightning to USB-C cable.

Capture Date, Date Time Original, Date Time, Digitized and Date Time values all show values as expected.

In all cases, the folders match the Capture Date and are placed in the correctly named folders.

I would need better step-by-step instructions for inducing the failure in order to acknowledge it as a bug.

Same problem here.

On import from iPhone 12 into lightroom Classic on Macbook i have LT rename my photo's with the date of capture in it an place them into a date-folder. The date in the file name is correct, the date of the folders seems related to last accessed date rather than the date of capture.
In the iPhone the date is correct. On import with Apple Photo's the dates are also correct.

So LIGHTROOM CC misplaces the photo's.

@Joro11:

1. Which version number of Mac OS?

2. Which version number of LR (do Help > System Info)?

3. Are you importing via a USB cable connected to the phone?

Thanks for your reaction.

macos = 13.0.1
LR = 12.0.1
i am using USB to import (is there another way? When I connect the iPhone over WiFi to my Mac it is not visible in LR)
phone = iPhone 12 Pro Max
ios = 16.1.1
In the import screen, when sorting by capture time, I see the photos in the order I last viewed them. Even with photos from years ago. Then on import LR puts those photos in the folder of the day I viewed them.
