I'm somehow lost. Have 10 files with pending metadata write-back which does not work.
Running the Metadata Analyst I get this:
You cannot view this attachment.

When ttrying to solve it with the Time Wiz like this nothing changes
You cannot view this attachment.

Attached also the debug log which seems to tell that the write-back was successfull. What do I miss/do wrong?

The XMP CreateDate in the file is invalid, it has no time information and no time zone.
The create date in the database is also invalid, just a date, no time.
This could happen when IMatch imported existing XMP data from a file. There was no check to validate the time stamp. I have fixed that already but that does not affect files which are already in the database.

Please try to force a reload of the metadata for the file. Select it and press Shift+Ctrl+F5 > Reload Metadata.
IMatch should automatically fix the invalid create date on import. You can verify in the MD Panel. It should have a date and time and time zone offset.

Thanks Mario, I could solve it with the Time Wiz. The problem is simply when you have english error messages and a German UI, it happens that you mix up Digitalisierungsdatum/Create Date with Erstellungsdatum/DateCreated. Therefore I used the wrong operation in the Time Wiz "Erstellungsdatum" instead of "Digitalisierungsdatum"
