Manually update dates of albums about lespas HOT 2 CLOSED

I still prefer the auto detection of album start/end date from it's photos. I understand the frustration you are facing, I believe many others suffer this too. I had do some research before on a way to detect photo taken date from it's name, afterall, many camera manufacturers encode their output using some timestamp scheme, but sadly, there seems no way that is widely agreed upon which I can follow.

Thanks for this issue, I make up my mind to do it in a Les Pas way. I will make a patch in the next release to honor the naming scheme of yyyymmddhhmmss as the photo creation date if the 'taken date' info can't be retrieved from photo's EXIF

Thanks, that patch would help.
Don't get me wrong, I think the automatic timestamp detection is great, but it would be nice to have some override when needed.

By the way, I noticed my pictures have a syntax like yyyymmdd_hhmmss, with sometimes a prefix (like IMG_) and/or suffix (_HDR) added. I think that's the standard for most smartphone cameras.
