Since most modern software now automatically sorts by date (presumably using the EXIF data) this is fundamentally problematic and such an obvious feature that should be supported that I'm frustrated that this is so difficult. I've tried other approaches like creating albums on the iPhone with the year name (e.g. but this is fundamentally flawed because the photos placed in those albums will still have incorrect EXIF date data and any operation to "view by date" will still be incorrect (the album names are just names with no metadata significance). Are there date limits? Do I just need the right tool? I want to process large batches of files, so any tool that doesn't allow batch processing wouldn't be a good fit.Īfter quite a bit of experimentation, the key seems to come down to very fine details regarding which specific tool/app is used for photo transfer and how the image is transferred to the iPhone. My images are stored on a Linux server and I often use FTP Client Pro to transfer/view/edit these files from the iPhone. FTP Client Pro has a few ways to transfer images from the Linux server to the iPhone: "Download", "Export", and "Save to Photo Album" being relevant here. "Download" simply downloads from the Linux server to FTP Client Pro's sandboxed storage - not relevant since I am interested in saving images to my iPhone Photos and ultimately iCloud Photos. " Export" followed by "Save Images" actually saves the image files from the Linux server (with dates modified using exiftool as described in the original post) to the Camera Roll - with the (modified and correct) EXIF date tags - this can be done in bulk with FTP Client Pro so this is clearly a solution that works well.
