DNG Date/Time Issue Still Present?

[Ian Farlow]

I'm still seeing a date/time issue with my DNGs in LR2. I have tried editing the date and time, exporting as DNG, exporting as original, re-importing, converting to DNG (even though they are DNGs already)...

No matter what I try and do, the embedded date/time in my DNGs is off when viewed outside of Lightroom, and is off anywhere from a few to several (9 or more) hours. Any ideas when this will be addressed, or is there a trick to getting the DNGs embedded with the correct date/time?

Oh, and I tried this with a CR2 file imported and converted to DNG with the same results: date/time were off in the DNG outside of Lightroom.

While this doesn't impact anything inside of Lightroom, it does impact managing the files outside of Lightroom. My biggest concern is that my DNGs are now tied to Lightroom permanently if I want to manage the files based on date/time data.

This doesn't happen with manufacturer RAW files left as RAW files (not converted to DNG).

Thanks for the feedback.

Yep, not everything is fixed yet. There's still a way to go before the proper release, so I wouldn't give up hope.

That's true. I'm definitely not trying to suggest that this is a final release, so I am looking forward to the progress.

That's true. I'm definitely not trying to suggest that this is a final release, so I am looking forward to the progress.

Also, here is Adobe's saying in the release notes:
"Changing the capture time on a photo then exporting it as original will cause Windows Explorer to show the "Date Picture Taken" as the original photo's date and time plus the GMT offset of the computer, not the setting applied when editing the capture time."

Yeah, I had read the release notes, but this didn't quite seem to apply to me. I have been having this issue for a while now it seems (although I didn't notice).

(although I didn't notice).

This is why I said "Also..." Talking of that word:
I closely watch your problems with it as it is of concern to me also. Not that I have much problems for now but I want to be aware of any potential problem.
