Is there a way to filter scanned images? Of course they have the wrong (or no date?), but what is the indication/difference between digital images from cameras and digital images from scanners? Is there a principle difference? Or does the user has to dig in and research various meta data?
That is my key wish with scanned images: Detect them all, correct date/time yyyymmdd-HHMM with yyyy0101-0000, yyyymm01-0000 or yyyymmdd-0000 and finally rename them with yyyymmdd-HHMM_id.ext. Time 0000 can indicate a scanned image with day unknown or even month unknown. The id can be the original number from scanner or a random number. The question is, which steps are best to get correct display of date/time in Imatch, timeline and optional to achieve the file renaming inside IMatch? For correct time sorting of multiple images of one day (e.g. special event with multiple images per day) either the minutes or seconds have to be increased incrementally (e.g. HHMM = 0001, 0002, ...) or time is always HHMM=0000, but then the ID has to be incremented per image in order to achieve good sorting. I prefer the first renaming option with incrementing time, because any incremented ID is no longer really unique.
