Title: I'm finally in the modern IMatch-23 era too
Post by: sinus on July 24, 2023, 10:25:34 AM
Now I am also on IMatch-2023.  :) Yeah, yesterday, Sunday, I had finally the time to do the update relaxed, no clients phone and so on  ;D

All went fine. 
First I did the step-by-step-help from the help-system. Update the DB on the new system took quite long, roughly about 20 minutes, compared to earlier updates. But I have in the mean time 375'000 files, that is quite a sum, I think. 

The next step will be, that I carefully read all release-notes. 
And what I will check for sure, is the new-date-stuff. 
IMatch has created 30'000 files under the category with "'Last Modified' fallback" and I have to understand, what this is all about. And for that I will read the help forward and backward.  ;D

Thanks, Mario, for a great DAM and specially thanks for the random-variable, I have already check it inside D&P and it works very good.   :)

These files have no usable metadata timestamp and IMatch had to fall back to use the "last modified" file system timestamp.
Unless you have disabled it, these files should be marked as pending write-back because IMatch has filled in the create date and date subject created and when you write-back, these time stamps are written to the XMP data.
