I'm somehow lost. Have 10 files with pending metadata write-back which does not work.
Running the Metadata Analyst I get this:
2023-10-17 17.27.09 000.png

When ttrying to solve it with the Time Wiz like this nothing changes
2023-10-17 17.42.09 000.png

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"
