Attribute Changer 10.10 is available and it includes one of the most requested feature, a sequence mode for date and time values. Some reported issues are fixed as well:

· Sequence mode for files and folders
· Fixed issue that Exif headers without DateTime tags could remove GPS tags
· Fixed XMP tag issues when saving EXIF modifications
· Fixed issue with advanced mode for photos not always working
· Fixed issue that filter name exceptions were not saved

What is Sequence mode?

When enabling Sequence Mode in the advanced mode, Attribute Changer will set a different date/time value for every selected file/folder. The values specified in the offset fields will be used as an additional date and time interval for every file/folder.

For example, if a start date/time value of ’26/04/2021 15:00:00′ and a hour offset of 1 hour is defined on a selection of files, the date/time of the first file will be set to ’26/04/2021 15:00:00′, the second file to ’26/04/2021 16:00:00′; the third to ’26/04/2021 17:00:00′ and so on…

The order of the items is determined by your selection in Explorer and the right-click action. If you select 4 items in Explorer and then right-click on the third one to launch Attribute Changer, Explorer will send a circular list to Attribute Changer: Item 3, Item 4, Item 1, Item 2.

Explorer uses the item you used to right-click as the first one and then continues until the end of the selection and wraps to the beginning of the list.

Using one of the advanced options ‘… value from file tab’ or ‘… value from folder tab’ always alters date AND time, even if one of both checkboxes is unchecked in the reference date and time field.
