Hello,

 

I'm trying to set the dateTimeOriginal of a photo from a CSV file I have thanks to a plugins. On your SDK, on the photo:getRawMetadata I saw the field but I couldn't archieve to set with photo:setRawMetadata where I always have a LrPhoto:setRawMetadata: unknown metadata key "dateTimeOriginal".

 

How can I fix my plugins. Thanks a lot

The SDK does not support writing EXIF fields, only IPTC. That's why the documentation does not list that field in SetRawMetadata

Thanks a lot for your answer, that help a lot. I'll work directly with ExifTool as suggested by @johnrellis and update EXIF data after.

To build on that, plugins that want to set the capture date of photos do these steps:

 

1. photo:saveMetadata ()

 

2. Run the utility program Exiftool to set EXIF:DateTimeOriginal.

 

3. photo:readMetadata ()
