I have an issue and question.
I exported some images from Facebook to my Google Drive using Facebook's new export function. After export I checked the images ℹ (information) and they all contained the correct capture date. However, when I then imported the images to my lrC catalog using the copy option in lrC the capture date was changed to the date imported to lrC. Is that behavior normal?
Just to explore and as a test subsequent exported images from FB were moved from Google Drive to my OneDrive. Once again before importing to lrC catalog I reviewed the ℹ and the original capture date was correct but when imported to lrC using copy the capture date was changed to the date imported. Why does lrC behave like that? Is there anyway to fix it other than manually changing the metadata capture date after the files are imported? Will lrC only read capture dates from camera files? Does FB not use standard EXIF standards? If that's the case I will only use export from FB if for some reason I really need the image and forgot to import to LrC first.
