Auto date entry from photo metadata

Rgillbilly

I am enjoying your program.
I also own the similar application called Journey and have decided to switch.
A feature that is most missed is the auto date.
When adding photos from gallery, the option to add the photos on the date they were taken to be an option without having to manually enter that date would be greatlyappreciated.
I fall behind when creating entries and months may pass before deciding to update.
Rather cumbersome to inspect each photos details to find date data and then manually scroll to that date for each and every entry.
Have only recently found the "select date" option because if system default font size on phone is set to "large" this option is cut off, hidden and unable to scroll down to select it. Only knew it was even there because the Windows version had the option.
I have to lower my default text size on phone to be able to select.

First time I hear about that issue, would it be possible to send me a screenshot of that (or post it here in the forums)?

You can enable the "camera roll" integration in the app settings to have the pictures automatically displayed that were shot on a given day. This should make it much easier to attach the pictures to the right date. Are you using that option or why isn't it useful in your case?

I have that enabled and it is useful.
I'm referring to looking at pictures from 3 weeks to 3 months ago and trying to add them to their corresponding days.
Or...in the case of just installing application, going through all pictures and trying to add to Diarium.
Thank you!

I have uploaded a screen shot of picture
Attachment screen with bottom area cut off and this screen is NOT scrollable in app.
If you do not have smaller text or the Windows application installed, it would appear that you could ONLY select these days.
I've also, just for reference only, uploaded a somewhat inferior application screenshot with a very handy auto upload to date of picture.

Thank you and I am very much enjoying this application! 😃

Rgillbilly Oh wow this font is huge!
Is this because of your Android settings?
Has the Diarium text always been so large?

Rgillbilly What is it? In what situation do these messages appear?
I've never seen this in the App.

Rgillbilly

It is due to Android font settings and they can go larger. For blinder people than me!
There may be others just like me that were or are unable to see last selection.

Rgillbilly

If I hadn't seen it on Windows app, I would have never known the last option was there.

Makes sense - I will make it scrollable. And of course leave your feature request open for discussion 🙂

This is when you share content (e.g. a photo) to Diarium using the Android share functionality

When I insert a photo into a new entry, I get a question about using the geotag found in the photo. But at the same time, the application does not offer to change the entry date to the date of the photo.
In general, the function of changing the date of a new entry to the date of the imported photo is very useful. For example, when I restore my vacation day by day based on a bunch of photos taken on different days.
