Good Morning,
I have been playing around with Metadata Templates and they are great. A couple of questions:
1. Is there an easy method of obtaining an AM or PM value from the {File.DateTime} tag, based upon whether a photo was taken during the morning or afternoon?
2. Is there an easy method of obtaining the century and decade in which a photo was taken from the {File.DateTime} tag?
Thank you.
You can use formatting functions to extract parts of the date/time or produce a custom format. See variables in the help. Unfold the table of contents at the top and click on Formatting.
Start with
1. {File.DateTime|format:XLT}
2. {File.DateTime|format:YY}
Hi,
Thank you for this response.
The XLT provide the local time in the format 12:00:00. I am after am AM or PM indicator. Photo Mechanic provides a variable called AMPM which is set to AM when a photo is taken before noon and to PM for photos taken after noon.
The {File.DateTime|format:YY} will return 20, which is actually the 21st Century. Could a variable be provided for the Century so if {File.DateTime|format:YY} = 19, the century variable is set to 20th Century and {File.DateTime|format:YY} = 20 the century variable returns 21st Century?
Please could a decade variable be provided to return the first year of the decade? E.g:
Photos taken between the years 1990-1999 - the decade variable would be set to 1990.
Photos taken between the years 2000-2009 - the decade variable would be set to 2000.
Photos taken between the years 2010-2019 - the decade variable would be set to 2010.
Photos taken between the years 2020-2029 - the decade variable would be set to 2020.
Thank you.
This should be doable using the numcomp and between formatting functions introduced in version 5.4.12.
